Sabahan artist Egn maps community stories through architectural plans


'I really hope the audience sees that self-expression doesn’t require one to use traditional art-making tools. It can be expressed in any form, whichever format, that fulfills your needs. Anything can be a tool to teach the young our history, heritage and stories of our daily lives,' says Egn. Photo: Mariah Doksil

Is it architectural plans? Is it art? Is it the story of his life? The answer is, all of the above.

Sabahan artist Harold Reagan Eswar, or just Egn, has a curious exhibition titled Dengan Chinta at the newly-opened Kota-K Art Gallery in Kota Kinabalu. It combines mapping and storytelling in a colourful format he calls "Spatial Biography Documentation".
