  • Selected Artworks by Chris O'doherty Aka Reg Mombassa Viewing By
    SELECTED ARTWORKS BY CHRIS O’DOHERTY AKA REG MOMBASSA VIEWING BY APPOINTMENT ONLY Christopher O’Doherty, also known as Reg Mombassa, is an Australian musician and artist. He is known for his membership in bands Mental as Anything, Dog Trumpet and The Pinks. He worked with Mambo Graphics designing T-shirts and posters since 1986 and exhibited paintings, drawings and prints at Watters Gallery from 1975 to 2018. Beneath the humour in his work lies the expression of serious insights and sympathies. O’Doherty’s oeuvre is shaped from allegorical landscapes that create lingering, enigmatic sensations to both invite and unsettle his audience. His depictions of the familiar Australian landscape are imbued with an atmosphere of the immaterial to build a soft pulsing anticipation and gnawing stillness within his work. In the words of Australian art historian Chris McAuliffe, “In O’Doherty’s hands, every horizon hides an unreachable place where we long to be, every hillside implies an opposing slope that we’ll never know”. His diverse range of projects also includes taking part in solo and group art shows in Australia, New Zealand, Italy, USA, France, Britain, China and Thailand. He has had a survey show at the S.H. Ervin gallery in 2007 and Manly Gallery and Museum in 2018 with his brother Peter O'Doherty. His designs were featured in the Closing Ceremony of the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000, and he designed the graphics for the 2013 Sydney New Year’s Eve celebrations. In 2001 the Victorian Tapestry Workshop invited Reg to contribute a design for a 2 metre square section of a 43.5 metre long Federation Tapestry to be completed and installed in the Melbourne Museum.

  • 45 Classifying the Conditions and Types of Degradations
    JOURNAL OF ARCHITCTURE, PLANNING & CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT Volume 9 Issue 2, 2019 CLASSIFYING THE CONDITIONS AND TYPES OF DEGRADATIONS OF KELINGKAN SHAWLS Nirmala Sharippudin1, *Harlina Md. Sharif1, Rajabi Abdul Razak1 1Kulliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design, International Islamic University Malaysia. *Correspondence Author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Kelingkan embroidery is a Malay traditional metal thread embroidery rooted since fifteenth century A.D. It is known in Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak in Malaysia as well as in other Malay neighbouring regions including Brunei and Indonesia. Kelingkan shawl is one form of kelingkan embroideries which is distinguished by flat coated metallic threads of gold or silver embroidered on lightweight and translucent fabrics. This study aims to identify types and factors of degradations of kelingkan shawls from the collection of Department of Museums Malaysia located in Kuala Lumpur. The study was carried out through visual observation on twenty-two samples of kelingkan shawls in the museum textile storage room. The findings identify physical damages as the major factor constituting the instability of kelingkan shawls, followed by chemical and biological damages. Their conditions are also found to be in four categories which are good, fair, poor and very poor conditions. While factors lead to their damages are aging, the nature of materials and improper storage methods. Identification and classification of types and factors of damages are necessary to determine the correct preservation and conservation techniques of damaged objects in museum. Keywords: Kelingkan, Malay embroidery, metal thread, museum, preservation. INTRODUCTION Kelingkan embroidery is a Malay historical textiles rooted since fifteenth century A.D. It is an art of embellishment on variant fabrics with flat coated metallic threads of gold and silver with customary two eyes needles.
