BAO: The Unbowed Carabao
wonder | wander | world feature of the week: Grilled Cheese Studios / Keso Kollektiv
In the latter part of 2018, I received a call setting me up to meet with a certain Ms. Angelica Berrie, to discuss documenting the progress of an artwork, which was to be installed at The Negros Museum.
It was a collaboration between mosaic artist Lisa de Leon-Zayco, and sculptor, Rafael Paeng Paderna. And so we met, discussed initial matters, and got the green light. We scheduled work to begin in January 2019.

Cut to January 2019.
The moment I stepped inside Paeng Paderna's studio gate in Eroreco, he was immediately in front of me.
Massive. Tall. Proud. Unbowed.
We filmed for 12 weeks and watched him come to life piece by little piece. It eventually dawned on us that we were witnessing the birth of an icon.
The photo in the thumbnail was taken on the day Bao was finally moved to his designated place. Everyone in this photo knew, that on this day, we all took part in contributing to a bit of cultural history, to our beloved province.

anthology of women & our anger
An important read now - largely, but not entirely because of the political climate and everything happening in the world right now.
Many women are tapping into and reclaiming anger that they have been repressing or explaining away that they didn’t know was there.
I think that collectively we are angry.

amulets & talismans
Like magpies who of us are not drawn to sparkly baubles of beauty?
Especially precious gems of power, possessing healing and protection properties.
We got hooked early, as children on Sunday afternoons, we would congregate on our parents' huge bed, going through mom's boxes of jewelry.
Under the guise of cleaning and organizing them, this was our best playtime - adventuring through the made up tales our wild imaginations conjured as we rubbed each piece to pristine brilliance.
