The Infinite Forest is a project that explores craft forms and craftsmanship in contemporary forms and materiality through the mastery of artisans working with four different design collectives showcasing Dhokra art (non-ferrous metal casting using lost wax techniques); jute work, and textile. The idea to showcase these types of craft is to juxtapose different types of materials, and to push boundaries in the ways these forms are showcased.
The Infinite Forest plays on the idea of a forest, inhabited by mythical and magical creatures, folk and tribal tales, an abundance of flowers and trees at a scale that pays tribute to the expert workmanship and techniques which explore both materials as well as their multitude of possibilities.
