ALPHABET
We had been working on a project where trusses were used extensively for stiffening of a building structure, and we became interested in the patterns that were emerging as we worked within the constraints of a uniform rectilinear grid. The diagonal elements were being used in three modes: left, right, and absent, and the engineering parameters were generating patterns descriptive of the structure’s performative aspect.
The carpet design takes the theme of variation and pattern a step further as the variable of thickness of line comes into play. Without straying from the basic unit orthogonal and diagonal lines in pairs, we saw the possibility of creating an "alphabet" out of these variations, intrigued by the suggestion of an unknown calligraphy, fascinated that it appears to be a code, capable of provoking the curious to endeavor to decipher its meaning. The deeper meaning carried by this design is that the marks we make are inevitably understood as messages, and that we are representing ourselves and the world in these scribbles.
These carpets are made by request in Nepal under strict quality control and following fair labor practices.
