It then triggers me to study the structure of Terengganu Malay traditional woodcarving motifs based on interpretations of Malay aesthetic principles and elements which is being applied to the new design motifs in contemporary artwork of painting and installation art. The artist’s statement is related to a master carver to create the new motif design interpreting Malay aesthetic principles and elements in their work.
It can be said that the structure of Terengganu Malay traditional woodcarving motifs is determined by three steps of structural motif. The findings of these three steps are vital in understanding the intricate artworks of woodcarving motifs. They should be used as guidelines by those who are related in the artwork fields such as the artist creating a new design, thus giving meaning and depth to overall work, without sacrificing the unique Malay aesthetics and identity.
