In the mid-1990s, Kim Whitesides extended his artistic vision into the world of textile design, creating a celebrated line of rugs for The Tibet Rug Co. Manufactured in Kathmandu, Nepal using traditional methods and the finest hand-spun Tibetan wool, the rugs translate his painter’s sensibility into three-dimensional, tactile form. The same attention to color, pattern, and spatial composition that defines his paintings on canvas carries through into each rug design. The results carry a quality that is at once decorative and deeply considered, objects that live between art and craft and belong entirely to neither category alone.
