TIE THE KNOT: KORAKOT AROMDEE Bamboo Sculptures


On exhibit at the ESTABLISHMENT at 30 Gansevoort Street in the Meatpacking District are intricate bamboo sculptures of Thai artist KORAKOT AROMDEE. Aromdee employs the "tie and knot" technique, which he learned from his grandfather. He uses bamboo exclusively in his large scale sculptures. To ensure strength and pliability, the artist utilizes only bamboo that is more than 3 years of age, and is properly smoked.

Your family has taught you a fantastic skill. I am jealous of you creativity....in a good way. Do you find it brings you peace to create such work, or do you find yourself frustrated by the end of a piece you are creating?
