…And she walked on a bed of forks
We Make Carpets is the creative collaboration of visual artist Bob Waardenburg and designers Stijn van der Vleuten and Marcia Nolte. Their carpets are constructed by hand with ordinary every day materials in a very extraordinary way.
Each carpet is a temporary, handcrafted masterpiece, made on the spot with no thought out plans or sketches beforehand. The artists choose a material and commence on a journey laying down the chosen materials into intricate patterns. Whether it is pasta, pine cones, coffee cups, or band-aids, the shape of the carpet seems to be dictated by the materials used.
With the amount of time and attention to detail that it takes to make each one, it’s kinda sad to think that they aren’t meant to last.
