- 0:02hi
- 0:02welcome to our soul making a creative
- 0:05process
- 0:07this is a result of discernment as a
- 0:08practicing artist
- 0:10it started as a reflective journal
- 0:12making
- 0:14such as sketching writing composing
- 0:17short songs
- 0:18spontaneous art making
- 0:20it started as exposure immersion and
- 0:23interaction in the local community
- 0:25and develop into imaging then eventually
- 0:28the images are pictures and stories
- 0:30evolve into collection of reflections
- 0:33so in 2016 with the latte publications
- 0:36we produce a creative process art book
- 0:40so
- 0:41soul making is equivalent to imaging
- 0:45and imaging is equivalent to crafting
- 0:47images
- 0:49so making
- 0:50means crafting images but it also means
- 0:53crafting movement metaphors
- 0:57so
- 0:58such as dreams imagining relationships
- 1:02spirituality fantasy and their creative
- 1:04expressions
- 1:05this image here this drawing is a
- 1:09self-portrait
- 1:10i do this after listening to a sermon
- 1:14it took me a while to to use this as a
- 1:17material
- 1:18but i noticed there's something in it so
- 1:22probably this attempt of
- 1:25knowing oneself
- 1:27also soul making
- 1:31soul making is an alternative venue for
- 1:33knowing oneself and looking into the
- 1:35depth and essence in what we do in our
- 1:38everyday lives
- 1:41it is a form of crafting stories or
- 1:43transforming big moments into images or
- 1:45symbols
- 1:47this one is a childhood
- 1:49experience it's a tombala
- 1:53this one i mean this is one of the
- 1:55challenging part in transforming bip
- 1:56moments or stillness
- 1:58is
- 1:59how to capture and what to capture in
- 2:02multiple picture of events
- 2:04or particular experience
- 2:06and how to stretch
- 2:08these brief moments in or wonderful
- 2:10experience into a longer or delayed
- 2:12moment
- 2:15soul making is also connecting to people
- 2:17understanding culture and embodying
- 2:19tolerance and peace
- 2:22so soul making is going beyond the art
- 2:24forms or creative expressions
- 2:27soul makings meaning making through
- 2:29interaction with people
- 2:34let me share a work that took me long
- 2:37time to produce this imagery
- 2:39it is a poem about
- 2:42nature particularly rain
- 2:45so uh
- 2:46[Music]
- 2:53[Music]
- 3:13foreign
- 3:15[Music]
- 3:30i
- 3:32[Music]
- 3:45is
- 3:48[Music]
- 4:00[Music]
- 4:08[Music]
- 4:09ah
- 4:14[Music]
- 4:21[Music]
- 4:22me
- 4:33[Music]
- 4:39so what are the means of soul making
- 4:42can be crafting images crafting stories
- 4:45crafting instruments and performances
- 4:51this image was a study for imaging
- 4:54family roots
- 4:56my sleepers are there below the ladder
- 4:59i am cleaning the gutter so that when
- 5:01rain comes the gutter will not be
- 5:02flooded and the water will flow smoothly
- 5:05in the tank
- 5:07here is our dog molly who barked every
- 5:09time i dropped the leaves
- 5:11at first i was complaining about the
- 5:13cleaning of the gutter but later it
- 5:15became therapeutic
- 5:17thus the tank reflects that we get water
- 5:20from the rain and it took 40 years
- 5:21before the public water system reach us
- 5:27here um
- 5:29a drawing entitled the good samaritan
- 5:32appropriated from a biblical story
- 5:34but this is actually a
- 5:36real experience now
- 5:39though the image exaggerated
- 5:42but uh it is based on a real event i met
- 5:44an accident in davao
- 5:47on diversion road nobody helped me
- 5:49except the garbage collector i think the
- 5:53symbols the text of words
- 5:55incorporated in the artwork would
- 5:57suggest something
- 6:01um
- 6:03i know you're familiar with these
- 6:05words
- 6:06presented in the
- 6:08in this particular image or slide
- 6:11this work
- 6:12is actually
- 6:14based on exposure to
- 6:16powerpoint presentations
- 6:20it is an attempt to use it as a subject
- 6:23for a commentary
- 6:29also you can also translate
- 6:33stories or images or events into using
- 6:37sculptures
- 6:38or particularly the technique of
- 6:40construction or assemblage
- 6:44even puppetry making
- 6:46your paper waist can be transformed into
- 6:49a
- 6:50face of a puppet
- 6:51even the
- 6:53dysfunctional
- 6:54webcam
- 6:56can be used as the part of the mouth
- 6:58an old texture can be used as the hair
- 7:02my old pants can be used into a
- 7:05cloth puppet
- 7:07using rad or using
- 7:10or through mar units
- 7:14next is crafting instruments
- 7:16crafting instruments requires ability in
- 7:18determining defining and distinguishing
- 7:21sound
- 7:22or nodes and pitch and thus the ability
- 7:24to manipulate objects
- 7:26it can be organic metal plastic or wood
- 7:29or a combination
- 7:31or you may appropriate ready-made canned
- 7:33music
- 7:35by manipulating exploring objects
- 7:38while you are looking for the
- 7:40appropriate sound
- 7:43the result is meditative
- 7:46it is exhausting but it is also relaxing
- 7:50so in between
- 7:53somehow silence and rest
- 7:57even old and discarded clock
- 8:00saw handle cable lock and motor gear can
- 8:02be repurposed into a percussion
- 8:04instrument
- 8:07a fire tree is common in the city
- 8:09by just collecting it right before it
- 8:11will be taken by nature or land into the
- 8:13soil one have to pluck it from the tree
- 8:16and wrap it with why to hold the seeds
- 8:18inside
- 8:20so you can see the slides here from
- 8:22soaking of the white strips with water
- 8:24thinning clean the strips
- 8:27of wine wrapping and
- 8:29then you have the artwork
- 8:31a percussion instrument well the seeds
- 8:33are
- 8:34hold or held by the shell
- 8:39um here is a
- 8:41wind instrument um
- 8:44a five note uh
- 8:45battle instrument
- 8:47so some battles cannot be sold in a junk
- 8:49shop so it ended as a win instrument or
- 8:51some they broke it or something just in
- 8:53the landfill
- 8:57the the battles have their own pitch
- 8:59producing a wind instrument
- 9:01the sound produce up four different
- 9:02narratives
- 9:04first the sound of the golden galleon
- 9:06that passed through the rivers this is a
- 9:08superstitious buddhist but
- 9:10was able to hear also the sound
- 9:14the sound of the buddhion that was used
- 9:16as a warning signal during
- 9:18the encounter between the government and
- 9:21the rebel forces
- 9:23so it was used by the rebel forces as a
- 9:25warning signal
- 9:27the sound of the buddhion in a beach
- 9:29the battle is alternative to that you
- 9:31know when you put the bottle yeah
- 9:34in your ear you can hear the the
- 9:36vibrating sound
- 9:38and the sound of silence in our place
- 9:40after the community abandoned their
- 9:42houses after month
- 9:44uh after the encounter between governor
- 9:46and rebel forces so
- 9:48this is what i heard the time
- 9:51listening through the bathroom
- 9:52silence
- 9:55and
- 9:56the process here you can see the
- 9:58cleaning of the bottles the drying of
- 9:59the bottles the soaking of the white
- 10:01strips then eventually
- 10:03tying the bottles randomly from any
- 10:05parts then there you can now produce an
- 10:08instrument
- 10:11here are some
- 10:13recent uh
- 10:14exploration of
- 10:18a inspired by kalimba
- 10:21but the sun actually is
- 10:22inspired also by
- 10:24a mindanao chun
- 10:26of
- 10:27just like a kolintang
- 10:29but this one there are other parts are
- 10:31installed there are pipes there are also
- 10:33springs there are also bells
- 10:36you can also see the box here i
- 10:38installed the psu speaker so it will
- 10:41become it's a bit box
- 10:44and the other one here is uh with
- 10:46uh
- 10:48base uh it was actually installed on the
- 10:50planchadora
- 10:52uh we have the
- 10:54sugbahanan uh
- 10:58a part of the wiper from the electric
- 11:00farm from the heat sink
- 11:03a metronome and a water container
- 11:08another work is this one and this is
- 11:11also a collection of three different
- 11:13areas
- 11:15the the
- 11:16some of the three foods are collected in
- 11:18samal
- 11:19island
- 11:20and sawdust with the
- 11:22steepers all sleepers
- 11:24and the bottles are taken within the
- 11:26city and the only thing i bought there
- 11:29is the oi
- 11:31from the story near yangorin
- 11:34this one is a sound board and this is an
- 11:36old
- 11:39painting
- 11:40and then
- 11:42but i was not able to use the camera so
- 11:44i take it off
- 11:45i
- 11:46reverse it and use the back part
- 11:49so installed strings metal so by
- 11:52touching by scraping you can create
- 11:56soundscape
- 11:59as i go along
- 12:01utilizing visual making as part of the
- 12:08culmination of arts application classes
- 12:15i was able to
- 12:16develop also themes under this so making
- 12:19one is indigenous
- 12:23these are local improvisation and
- 12:24manifestation of resilience and
- 12:26creativity
- 12:28um
- 12:29so
- 12:30actually the word indigenous
- 12:33i appropriated that from
- 12:35indio genius it is a mispronounced word
- 12:38of an influence friend of kidnapped that
- 12:39he make
- 12:41so i think in 2008 i asked
- 12:43personally kidlet if i can use it so he
- 12:46allowed me
- 12:47eventually that related to spinoy
- 12:49ingenuity originality identity
- 12:52so in this study the indigenous refers
- 12:54to the
- 12:55initiative
- 12:56resourcefulness and creativity
- 12:59and the 12 world concept of art
- 13:02but now i am using
- 13:03indigenous terms for individuality and
- 13:05accession to my own exploration
- 13:13here is a
- 13:15manifestation of three in one concept
- 13:18four in one concept everything is there
- 13:20in the bicycle
- 13:22this is street performing in panama city
- 13:26here the next slide is a diy speedboat
- 13:29toy in santo mastava delorte
- 13:32so it's made of rubber band
- 13:34barbecue sticks and a plastic container
- 13:37of a powder
- 13:41here is an improvised car in a wet
- 13:43market
- 13:45100
- 13:46uh reused materials
- 13:51another one is
- 13:53an improvisation a motorcycle with no
- 13:55metal tank but used an oil container as
- 13:58alternative
- 14:04another
- 14:06dynamic uh
- 14:08manifestation of our improvisation
- 14:11is
- 14:12the bakery
- 14:14with the wonderful names of breads and
- 14:17biscuits same with the store names and
- 14:19so does our children's name
- 14:26here is a motorcycle in montevista with
- 14:29a makeshift shade
- 14:31so it's hundred percent improvised
- 14:35here is another example of improvisation
- 14:38a tricycle pagadian city
- 14:41it was designed that way because the
- 14:43cities
- 14:44have
- 14:45dominated by rolling hills
- 14:48here is a tracy cat in osama city with
- 14:50calais influence
- 14:52they no longer
- 14:54use the kalesa so
- 14:56the concept colessa was translated into
- 14:57the tracy cat
- 15:00another thing finding this particular
- 15:02post
- 15:04is the
- 15:05redundancy
- 15:08it was trying to please and accommodate
- 15:10it it is accommodating texts
- 15:14trying to please also the audience
- 15:17another part of this making is uh
- 15:19looking into
- 15:21personal experience or life experiences
- 15:24reality so this is an image of a street
- 15:27child in pagadian city
- 15:30so this image will brought you will
- 15:32bring you to somewhere else
- 15:34to a certain reflection
- 15:37now even waiting is actually a
- 15:40powerful
- 15:41motivation for you to do something about
- 15:44your
- 15:45boredom
- 15:46so i was constructing paper art while
- 15:48waiting for a certain
- 15:51for my
- 15:53schedule
- 15:54for a workshop it is in cotabato city
- 16:00wires
- 16:02soft sculpture performances is also one
- 16:05good explorations by using the overhead
- 16:07projector
- 16:11another sensitive subject but
- 16:14part of the humanities
- 16:16accepting or denying death
- 16:21here is a
- 16:23song
- 16:25entire pintura
- 16:27so this particular
- 16:29funny poem was actually inspired by
- 16:33observing the manicurista
- 16:36with their conversations with their
- 16:39situations
- 16:40and so forth so i will demonstrate this
- 16:48[Music]
- 17:06[Music]
- 17:12[Music]
- 17:18[Music]
- 17:30[Music]
- 17:39[Music]
- 17:48[Music]
- 17:58better than
- 18:03[Music]
- 18:16so where can we find soul making
- 18:21can i mean i appreciate some people who
- 18:23can do it
- 18:25can do something you know can produce
- 18:27art even there it is crowded
- 18:30but somehow
- 18:32some people can do more in a silent
- 18:36space
- 18:44[Music]
- 19:19[Music]
- 19:35on
- 19:40so the question is why
- 19:43why do we need to engage or
- 19:46in soul making on imaging
- 19:51to transcend from human to spiritual
- 19:53being
- 19:55to broaden patience and tolerance
- 19:59to heightened sensitivity and
- 20:01sensibility towards the environment
- 20:04and to connect with god
- 20:12so
- 20:14here is an image of myself
- 20:17with the projection of
- 20:19that faith
- 20:21that we are alive from the sky
- 20:23touches the earth and lets you feel
- 20:26the essence of life
- 20:29it is not about money and fame but the
- 20:32honest and sincerity of what we do
- 20:34the time that we devote
- 20:36to art
- 20:38or artwork our actions will allow us to
- 20:40understand ourselves better
- 20:43i realized then that the tangible or
- 20:45intangible art is there to make us all
- 20:48be extra sensitive
- 20:51guys
- 20:52art is the soul of our nation
- 20:55art is the soul of our being
- 20:58the core of being human
- 21:00so art for me is a realization of time
- 21:05soul making
- 21:07is an expression of finding peace and
- 21:09contentment
- 21:11so soul making is to be empty
- 21:16so to end this sharing
- 21:18here's another
- 21:20example of translating nature image into
- 21:22a poem
- 21:24the song is entitled
- 21:32[Music]
- 21:42booklet
- 21:47[Music]
- 22:08so
- 22:12[Music]
- 22:17[Music]
- 22:23my
- 22:29[Music]
- 22:35so
- 22:46[Music]
- 22:52[Music]
- 23:04[Music]
- 23:16[Music]
- 23:18my
- 23:28so
- 23:30what is your soul making
- 23:36you
