Life, Objectified: Kour Pour

Things are just things, it’s true.  Life is about our relationships and what we say and do, yet the objects that we live with become a part of who we are.  Artist Kour Pour methodically recreates intricately patterned carpets similar to the ones he grew up with in his father’s England rug shop.

We may not take much notice of those objects that surround us each day, but they become a part of our associations and our memories.  It’s why after the death of a loved one it’s so hard to go through their things, to touch those pieces of life that beloved fingers held each day, but will no more.  Those objects become a part of our history, as carpets did for Pour, and when we least expect it, those associations may help bring about healing.
