Description
3 years ago, I was in Nepal to meet with local artisans because I wanted to learning about hand-knotted rugs, a tradition dating back thousands of years. When COVID hit, the artisans I met found themselves in a difficult situation, leaving many without work. Together, we designed the hand knotted Sokushinbutsu (Deepest Meditation) Rug.
Each rug is:
– Hand knotted making each one unique
– Takes one craftsman around 60 days to weave one piece
– Made from 100% natural sheep’s wool
– Extra thick pile 32 x 42 inches size
The devastation of covid wasn’t the sole reason I wanted to work with these artisans. I also believe that this tradition may not exist in 25 years.

This hand-knotted wool Tibetan meditation rug, is a reimagining of my previous themes. Rooted in my exploration of cultural narratives, this piece features a Sokushinbutsu scene—an embodiment of transcendence—depicting a serene skeleton in the lotus position. A juxtaposition of mortality and meditation it portrays an intersection of life and contemplation, a theme that has woven throughout my earlier artworks.

ABOUT ME (TREVOR FOSTER)
I'm Trevor Foster
I'm a sculptor and craftsman who's been working with ceramics for over a decade. My journey with clay started in Seattle, where I studied ceramics, but my connection to Thailand began much earlier as the child of antique dealers. After graduation, I returned to Thailand to establish my studio in the jungle, where every piece is still crafted today.
My Approach To Craftsmanship
I believe in making well-crafted pieces that people can actually connect with, not just art that sits on a white wall gathering dust. Behind every object tells a story since everything I do starts with a philosophical inquiry that I turn into an idea before it becomes an object that you can hold.
