Abstract

The production of artworks was inspired by the traditional Malay biscuit. Nowadays, it is not easy to obtain due to the dumpling of various instant snacks. To prevent continuity of tradition from being forgotten, the artist applied carved mould to the production of print artwork. This paper discusses idea generation and the formation of alternative printmaking that transcends conventional disciplines. The idea was initiated through empirical studio-based research. The finding in terms of the new look of printmaking gives satisfaction and pleasure visually. The discovery of a new approach in making artwork contributes to the emerging trends in Malaysian printmaking.
