Artist Faye Abantao Dwells on Collective and Personal Memories
Faye Abantao is a Bacolod-based contemporary artist who primarily works with paper as material. Her captivating creations take the viewer through a journey of her memories—woven, folded, and torn. The delicate forms traverse personal, social, and occasionally political reflections of what was, what is, and what could be. She grew up working with paper, from doodles to origami, eventually transforming the material into enthralling works. She won the Butanding Barrio Residency for ArtFairPH/Residencies 2021 and was the Karen H. Montinola Selection for ArtFairPH/Projects 2023 with her latest collection Don’t Forget to Remember.
