THINGS THAT REMAIN IN MY HEART

Authors

  • Siriphong Kharuphankit

Abstract

This is an autobiography of Buddhist Monk Phra Siriphong
Kharuphankit who is an artist and maker of the “teacher's heads,” or
the Khon masks devoted to the deities of art, music and dance. Besides
being the recollections of a great Thai traditional artist, it also recounts
the process of learning a traditional art-form. One of the fascinating
aspects of Thai traditional art is how it can be strictly anchored in the
past and yet incorporate progressive innovations; how it can be both
extremely disciplined and transformative. In Thai traditional art, much
emphasis is given to the Wai Khru (the ceremony for the honoring of
the teachers). Here we meet Phra Siriphong’s teachers and begin to
understand how knowledge is passed down in a Thai traditional artform.
