Ryōan-ji Hand-Knotted Textile Object by Lyk Carpet

About the Item

Ryoan-ji hand-knotted textile object by Lyk Carpet Dimensions: W 82 x L 184 cm. Materials: 100% hand-spun tibetan highland wool from living sheep, traditionally plant-dyed, pot-dyed. Manual techniques and traditional pot-dyeing makes every piece unique, slight variations in size & tone are possible. RYOAN-JI Inspired by the Japanese Zen temple Ryoan-ji. Mareike Lienau has designed a wool object that pays homage to the concept and proportions of the temple’s stone garden. Lienau’s Ryoan-ji-Object hones in on this idea of the blind spot, reflecting on just how impactful and ever-present that blind spot is in any interaction or endeavor. The design’s circular element, a woolen nest, symbolizes the blind spot while also offering a space to sit and contemplate, while the graphic lines evoke the rock garden area. It is a reminder to consider anew what one does and does not see at any moment, given the respective time, location, and culture in which we find ourselves. Mareike Lienau designs carpet objects and unique carpets for her label Lyk Carpet, which are hand knotted in Nepal. Her mission is to reinterpret craft and to bring it closer to young people. The superficial functionality of the She tries to radically question the superficial functionality of the carpet. Away from the rectangle Mareike wants to positive, lustful and imaginative the form & the craft, the material new, unseen and exaggerated show. Her approach asks: ‘What is contemporary about craft?‘ ,“Many people don’t really relate to products anymore. Mass production has led to today’s throwaway society. I want to contribute to raising people’s awareness, prompting them to think about products: how they are made and the resources involved; to generate values. I decided to do this through supporting the preservation of a cultural heritage, and by designing authentic objects. Contemplating and experiencing this artistic craft leads to new insights and points of view and enriches communication.With my textile posters and Pouf_Characters for example I am inviting people to ac- quaint themselves with a value creation chain, and to think about global responsibility.“.
