STUDIO PKA X JAIPUR RUGS
GULTARASH | A STUDY IN TEXTURE
THE TOTEM MARKS THE COLLABORATION BETWEEN TWO DESIGN HOUSES, STUDIO PKA AND JAIPUR RUGS- ACCENTUATING THE TWO CRAFTS THROUGH MATERIALS & PROCESSES.
THE 9X9X9
A SUSPENDED ABSTRACTION OF PARTS THAT MAKE A WHOLE, ALL THE WHILE ACCENTUATING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE TWO INDUSTRIES — BUILDING & WEAVING — AS WELL AS THE CRAFTSMEN BY INCORPORATING AND HIGHLIGHTING THE TOOLS OF THE TRADES. WITH A FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY, THE INSTALLATION SEEKS TO RE-PURPOSE AND RE-USE DISCARDED MATERIALS. THROUGH THIS WE HOPE TO SPARK A CONVERSATION ON THE RELEVANCE AND IMPORTANCE OF CREATIVELY BREATHING NEW LIFE INTO OBJECTS AND SPACES. ENVISIONED AS A CUBE IN SPACE, THE INSTALLATION SITS WITHIN THE CONFINES OF A 9X9X9 FT GRID ALONG EACH AXES. THE NUMERICAL SIGNIFICANCE — A BASE NUMBER THAT CONTINUES WITHOUT DIMINISHING UPON ITSELF.
THE SCULPTURE
ABSTRACT FREE-STANDING SCULPTURES MATERIALISED BY BREAKING THE DEFINITIVE FORM OF BUILDING ELEMENTS. WEAVING PARTS OF RUGS, THE YARN AND THE TOOLS USED IN THE PROCESS OF RUG-MAKING. WITH THE INTENTION OF BEING INTERACTIVE, ADAPTABLE AND TRANSFORMATIVE TO THE SPACE IT IS BOUND, THESE SETS OF MOBILE ART INSTALLATIONS OFFER DYNAMIC AND FLEXIBLE POSSIBILITIES.
