for you who care & love our environment

I am delighted to present The Tales of Knot after Knot, an art installation consisting of a carpet tower and three hand-drawn ink sketches that are inspired by folklores. The carpet tower that occupies the room serves as a tangible object that allows the audience to touch and feel the carpet. The three sketches are deconstructions of selected stories and re-compositions of these stories into visual images that question our perception of the everyday ‘carpet’.

My first sketch is translated from the classic folklore - The Three Princes and the Princess Nouronihar where the carpet becomes a trans-dimensional tool - an ordinary object that transgresses the physical boundary of space and time. My sketch manifests the concept of ‘teleportation’. The grid is an abstraction of parallel time and spaces while merging into a single moment of imagination. My second sketch is picturing a scenario of a girl and a cat taking a nap on the carpet. It is juxtaposed with The Carpet People who are smaller than a dust particle and live in the world of a carpet. It reframes our perspective of the world and twists our perception of scale and space. The last story is about The Carpet Makers who make carpet out of hairs for the Emperor. My interpretation is about a carpet maker who lives inside a hair dryer. It shows a view from the hair dryer that frames a girl having her hair cut and the carpet maker quietly hand knotting a hair carpet.

an art and design installation at SingaPlural2016 l Singapore

A sensory experience where rugs made of waste industrial rubber tires, discarded Afghanistan refugee war tents are repurposed into new by Papilio- the recycled rugs come to life in a cone tower installation that celebrates the beauty of up cycling. 

The installation is a carpet cone tower of 2.2 m height, formed by 6 panels of rugs. Visitors are encouraged to rest, sit and touch the carpet tower. This whole bodily contact refreshes purpose of materials, and the multi dimensional use of rugs in our living.
