Jonathan Adler Whatever Beaded Art

Statement Piece.

Is “whatever” an expression of despair and ennui or excitement and possibility? An intriguingly enigmatic exploration of wordplay and the visual magic of fonts.

We collaborated with an artisanal workshop in India where a master beader imbued our clean graphic designs with craftsmanship and soul. Each artwork is hand-beaded on linen ground and takes nearly 100 hours to create. Beads of varying heights and patterns within patterns create a sense of depth and dimension. The result is part pop art, part textile triumph.
