Cc-Tapis Super Fake Super Runner Rug By Bethan Laura Wood

Hand knotted in the cc-tapis atelier in Kathmandu, Nepal. The rug is made with a cotton weave, Himalayan wool, pure silk and linen coming from the areas surrounding the atelier. 125.000 individual knots per square meter approximately. The sale of every rug supports cc-foreducation. Size: 2.6' x 11.5' ft. A (125.000 knots/sqm approx.) A series of rugs inspired by the collision of the man-made with nature. Each based on a different rock form, whose surface patterns are created through the organic build-up of sediment through time and a combination of materials under pressure. Bethan uses the rock as a reference to explore the post Instagram and ‘snap chat world’, where the fleeting two-dimensional image, collide with a physical and tactile reality, the hyper-, and super-, fake spill into our daily lives.
