BATIK ART BY LUKANDWA DOMINIC

This interesting and unique batik says it all. My initial plan was to do a one color batik as in the photograph but later I went for a multicolor batik which became a big success. I still want to try out the first plan on a smaller batik. From this batik, one can see that inspirations are everywhere, you just have to look. For me to get this idea, I had to peek into the kitchen where my wife had just soaked these seeds to be cooked later.

This batik is titled DRIPPING (2012), an inspiration from dripping made by candle wax. I was also inspired by dripping made by oil paints on their containers. This is titled FRUITS (2012). I aimed at archieving as many different hues and texture as possible. The varying tone in this picture is also ipressive.
