Wood sculpture, 'Guardian of the Home'

Baring fierce fangs, a powerful dragon displays his strength. Three menacing heads arise from its sinuously coiled body. Highly respected in Indonesia, dragons are believed to be the guardians of the gods. Ketut Taram carves the mythical creature from Balinese suar wood. This dragon fiercely protects the sanctity of the home.

Ketut Taram

"My name is Ketut Taram and I was born in the Gianyar regency, Bali, in 1967. I learned how to create my first sculpture from my older brother, Made Mudiawan. From 1975 until 1990 I worked primarily in suar wood. Then, from 1990 until 2000, I made the sculptures from sandalwood. Lately, I enjoy sculpturing with both.

"I began carving on my own in 1992; before I'd worked together with my older brother, saving until I had enough money to open my own workshop. There are five people working with me now.

"Balinese culture and tradition inspire my artwork. As the son of Wayan Kicen, a wood carver, it is easy and enjoyable for me to transfer my imagination into my work.

"I have participated in several exhibitions around Bali. Thank you Novica for promoting my artwork to the whole world. Through my art I do hope to provide a good life and a better future for my family, especially for my little child."
