Artist Statement
There I was, miles from home, enjoying these wonderful old and very fragile rickshaws – part of the cultural heritage of Malaysia. What history was embedded in those seats – what stories they could tell! In fact every detail of this old mansion where the rickshaws lay – the Blue Mansion of Cheong Fatt Tze (often called the Rockefeller of the East) is lavishly excellent, including the floor tiles as well as the Art Nouveau stained glass, seen throughout the building.
The owner, a rags-to-riches boy, used only the best materials from around the world. At the height of its glory, it was the heart of the city for meetings and elaborate functions. Cheong Fatt Tze had 8 wives and became a national treasure – like his favorite home -the Blue Mansion in Penang.
