WILL THEY EVER GET TOGETHER AGAIN? is a pair of two extremely large dissimilar yet complementary, rug-islands, irregular and capriciously shaped.
Once fitted perfectly in each other now each one is going its own way, like Islands in the stream, or literally islands in a space.
WILL THEY EVER GET TOGETHER AGAIN? expresses the understanding of ended relationships, realising that both partners needed to go their own way.
In line with this concept of splitting up lovers, the rugs are sold separately. The question is whether, after they have been sold, the rugs will ever get together again.
The design is a combination of introspection - how love-affairs develop - and Eastern energy-philosophy about the dynamics of all life - how energy flows. About light-heartedness - being able to play and shuffle the rugs around - versus the philosophical and poetic depth of its message; that nothing will stay forever.
Heraclitus’ panta rhei, everything flows. One needs to continue one’s journey, just as much as water, as a person, or as an art piece.
WILL THEY EVER GET TOGETHER AGAIN? is made from left-over Icelandic sheepskins which are sustainable tanned and sewn together by hand.
The hairs are extremely long and soft while the rugs are rough and whimsically shaped with several pointy cuts that fit like puzzle pieces.
YIN is the largest, black, and has a rectangular back. YANG, is white, smaller, and looks slightly rounder.
