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 : Handlaced no.II becomes a meditation on relational being—where the essence of one is found in the many.
Indra's Weave / Handlaced no.II is part of the ongoing 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.
