Lotus Smoke

Stemming from their knowledge and love of Chinese painting, Janis Provisor and Brad Davis drew on the recurring motif of the Lotus flower which in Buddhism signifies purity of mind and body. The floating lotus depicted in the design rises above the muddy waters of attachment and desire illustrated in the smoky dark rings. The design is interpreted in hand processed, high altitude wool, according to time treasured Persian hand-knotting techniques. Meticulous hand-dyeing of the yarns produces complexity and depth of color which enrich the overall aspect of the carpet.
