The intricate batik motives can be seen on the fabrics and the large musical instruments. It’s mesmerizing how he creates such wonderful work that revolves around traditional activities that are long forgotten. An art teacher, M. Sukri Derahman was a protege of the late Ismail Mat Hussin, whom he learned batik from.
