Crafted by hand from a single, continuous copper wire using a complex knitting process, this artwork features interlocking loops that are each both unique and inseparably connected, forming a cohesive sculptural whole. This structure is then immersed in a copper sulfate solution, which solidifies it into a rigid form with a distinctive texture.
The technique echoes the philosophy it embodies: that all phenomena arise through mutual dependence, and that every part holds, and is held by, a greater system. Through this interplay of material, method, and metaphor, Indra’s Weave becomes a meditation on relational being—where the essence of one is found in the many.
The Indra’s Weave sculptural series inspired by classical East Asian cosmology and the metaphor of Indra’s Net—an infinite lattice where each intersection holds a luminous jewel, endlessly reflecting all others. This image evokes a universe of profound interconnection, where every element contains and responds to the whole.
The series is meditation on interdependence that asks us to reconsider where one thing ends and another begins—or whether such boundaries were ever real at all.
