About the Artist: Ketut Sukayasa
“I was born on November 19, 1968, in a village in Bali. I am the smallest of four children – my father and mother were farmers. I am the only one in my family to become an artisan. I started making crafts when I was in primary school with my friends, around the village. After I finished secondary school I decided to try and make a living from handcrafted art. I began using coconut shells, bamboo, and other readily available materials, and I sold my work to small shops and hotels. And then I started also to make decorative tableware that sold well, but still it was hard for me to make enough to take care of my family.
“…My situation started getting better, and I could make enough to take care of my family and establish myself properly.
“For me what is funny about life is that after all this time I have been making handcrafted work for people to enjoy, I myself have not had the chance to take the time to decorate my own home. I’m just too busy!”
