JONAS WOOD
JUNGLE RUG

100 knots/sq in, 120 x 96 inches (305 x 244 cm), Edition of 30, sustainably hand-knotted in Nepal by artisan weavers

This is Wood’s third rug with BravinLee editions. The pattern is based on a shower curtain that the artist grew up with. This same image also appears in a large-scale painting, drawing and etching. In this rug, the mark making used in the etching process is translated into hemp, wool and silk.

Jungle Rug is made from hand-spun wool, silk, and hemp.  The background is 100% natural hemp and the motif is a mix of black wool and silk with over 1.15 million knots.  Whereas most carpets are washed with toxic chemicals, BravinLee carpets are made with environmentally friendly dyes and washed with only soap and water.

Jonas Wood is represented by David Kordansky Gallery and Gagosian.  He has been the subject of solo and two-person exhibitions at the Dallas Museum of Art (2019); Museum Voorlinden, Wassenaar, the Netherlands (with Shio Kusaka, 2017); Lever House, New York (2014); and Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2010).
