Ryan Higgins of Tamarian has released a new book, Beyond the Loom: The People Who Crafted Rugs in Kathmandu, Monsoon 2023.
“The images captured by Nepali photographer, Narendra Shrestra are a pictorial journey through place and process as it relates to the very human art of rug weaving,” describes Higgins. “The rawness of the imagery and truth-telling of modern life in the carpet industry is at once both moving and illuminating. The book is a poetic celebration of the lives of weavers who make Tibetan rugs in Kathmandu,” he adds.
With words and layout by Higgins, Beyond the Loom is published by Hali Publications, Ltd. with an introduction by Reto Aschwanden of Label STEP, the leading organization for fair trade in handmade carpets.
