"I'm obsessed with making combination dream balls with ornaments of wood, iron and other materials. Every single piece I make is filled with love because I love my work…."
"My name is Wayan Sukarta and I'm the oldest of the three children in the family. Wood carving has been part of my life since I was born. Everyone in my village knows how to make beautiful and incredible pieces of art from wood. By watching them directly and being taught by my parents, I was able to create my first statue when I was in elementary school.
"For some reason I didn't continue to work in wood and learn how to weld instead. I worked in a welding company for six months only, because the company failed. I was jobless for a few months until a friend came and asked me to work with him. Over two years, he taught me special skills in making spheres for meditation purposes. I call this kind of ball a 'dream ball.'
