Ahmed’s melted, distorted and mystifying handwoven carpets offer a trippy take on traditional design
The conceptual works of Azerbaijani artist Faig Ahmed (born 1982) combine traditional carpet weaving with contemporary sculptural techniques. This confrontation between the millennia-old tradition of craftsmanship and modern-day image production strategies reveals unimagined potential for reflection on the interplay between culture and religion, craftsmanship and art.
