Your painting art "Thread of Life...Hello Mac, <br />Your painting art "Thread of Life" stays forever in our Khmer heart although It was erased by municipal authorities. This had made us know you and values of our Khmer hand-works, especially Ms Moeun Thary and so meaningful in Khmer traditional life.<br />I believe that your art will surely affect our Cambodian art-loving and society.<br /><br />Thank you.<br />Best regards<br />P SONG, MD<br /><br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12845688996819514969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4877220854778102963.post-47581368645194347762015-12-17T11:29:21.595-08:002015-12-17T11:29:21.595-08:00Hi Mac,
You're a wonderful artist. You're...Hi Mac,<br /><br />You're a wonderful artist. You're rare. You're talented. You're brilliant.<br /><br />Your artwork got me very amazed and it saddens me and many other fellow Cambodians on why the authorities decided to take such disrespectful behaviour. I rode all the way to the white building this afternoon, bearing in mind how I should take photo with this great piece of mural, just to disappoint myself later.<br /><br />Regardless, I would like you to know that this mural spirit is with us, be it visible or not now. Many Cambodian art students have been inspired by you and they yearn to learn more from you.<br /><br />Thank you for the priceless effort and time you put in during your stay here.<br /><br />Have a wonderful day ahead.<br /><br />With warm regards;<br />Seng ChansereypichSeng Chan Serey Pichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14254058365798512330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4877220854778102963.post-29649641891868142282015-12-17T10:59:17.640-08:002015-12-17T10:59:17.640-08:00Bitch-slapped by the municipal authorities on a te...Bitch-slapped by the municipal authorities on a technicality...<br /><br />Did you guys decide to go ahead and paint it without waiting for official approval?Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814712891605786309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4877220854778102963.post-37985541475174697492015-12-17T07:17:43.474-08:002015-12-17T07:17:43.474-08:00I am sorry that the mural is no longer here. I bel...I am sorry that the mural is no longer here. I believe you have seen the responses of our fellow art-loving Cambodians on Facebook, and perhaps on other forums, too. We all appreciate the mural, and believe it should be there intact and to be enjoyed by the people. Many reproach the decision to paint over it, and I believe that besides the small group of people who made this insensitive decision, none of us want your piece deleted.<br />I invite you to think that even if the piece is gone, its spirit remains. Your choices and efforts matter, I believe, because they achieve what you want them to achieve: Many Cambodians now know about Mrs. Moeun Thary and the wonderful work she is doing. I myself has just known about her. The debate about the lives of the carriers of our traditions—those who carry the “Thread of Life”—is revived again. Most important of all, what has happened proves that we, Cambodians, do stand up for not only our own culture, but also for artworks in general.<br />Although, your ideas and efforts can no longer be found on the northern wall of the White Building, I believe they live on, in one form or another, in many Cambodians’ mind.<br />Thank you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11735764635642589677noreply@blogger.com
