SCULPTURE 33 : THEN & NOW
04 July, 2024
ADDRESS : NO. 89 LEBUH ARMENIAN
 |
This sculpture is more related to some traditional occupations, all currently under threat. `Then & Now’ traces the changes in local occupation on Lebuh Armenian, formerly a centre for copper smithing, to today`s less glamorous recycling of old newspapers and assorted containers. On the left of the sculpture shows a Malay worker, surrounded by a hanging array of the pots and pans he has already made, is busily fashioning yet another brass pot, while at the same time being distracted by the guni man. Our `guni’ (a type of bag), or rubbish collector is collecting bottles, tin cans and old newspaper, but appears to have his own problems. |
