This piece was created as custom work for Artlink for a hotel in Spain using a custom color palette; it is a plum color with a gold interior all in upcycled canvas from Guatemala's New Denim Project. This piece has been around the world collecting energy and materials from Guatemala to San Francisco to Connecticut to Los Angeles and then to Spain. The number of hands and craftsman that touched this work is part of the illumination of it onsite in Spain.
This piece is based on the main work Enso behind the series “Samu”, which means work practice. Work is practice, life is practice, mindfulness in daily activity, the way of the #Bodhisattva. This piece is made with a single meditation and cut. I use a light pencil line to guide, but otherwise, it is freehand.
Items like the curling occur because of the weight of the canvas. This has been perfected over years of trial and error.
Kurtis Brand offers this in multiple sizes in a limited quantity. For custom, pleaseinquire.
