Euphorbia

about the collection

Every plant has a unique growing habit, creating wildly different formations like living calligraphy. Euphorbia, a collection inspired and developed from Bethan Laura Wood’s ink drawings, made in confinement during lockdown. 

Euphorbia, the meditative act of observation turned into a cathartic exercise.  

Fascinated by her Euphorbia Sipolisii f. Crestata succulents, during the strange and peculiar times that was lockdown, Bethan Laura Wood sketched their forms as they slowly grew.

Working with cc-tapis, they developed a delicate triptych and a large single rug, made entirely in Himalayan wool. cc-tapis artisans interpreted the original drawings with black wool whilst the natural tones of the undyed pile gently and delicately cover the design, purposefully knotted with a longer yarn. A contrast which respects and echos the marks of the ink pen Bethan used.
