ANNA BETBEZE create exquisitely grotesque acid-dyed woolen flokati carpets. Dyed, burned, pulled, cut and washed, her rugs are the proof of her spirit of wild material experimentation: she explained that her process is the simultaneity of making and unmaking, at once the original object is destroyed and a new one emerges.
In fact, she came to her signature material more or less by chance while she was at Yale: I lived with one of the rugs, and it became a filthy mess and I started really enjoying it and thought to try painting on it. Crawling around on them, being enveloped by them in the making” is to be immersed in them entirely. A lot of times the process is out my control.
ANNA BETBEZE was born in Mobile, Alabama. She received her BFA from the University of Georgia in 2003 and her MFA from Yale University in 2006, She lives and works in New York City and teaches at Yale School of Art. In the summer of 2010, BETBEZE participated in group exhibitions at Ramiken Crucible, New York, NY, and Horton Gallery, Berlin, Germany. She has also shown at Rachel Uffner Gallery, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Swing Space, and PPOW Gallery in New York.

A rectangular hole in the earth was excavated and then filled with concrete along with: firesand, lime, kaolin, bitumen, colophony, brass, copper, bronze, graphite, wood, marble, granite, river stones, plaster, slate, hard coal, charcoal, asphalt, brick sand, silicon, aluminum, bamboo, hay, pine cones, straw, cork, mussels, pigments, lamp black, coconut, chalk, clay, pumice stone, tuff, lava rock, gneiss, quartz and plant seeds. The artist estimated a weight of around five tons, to afterwards be lifted from the pit and cut into a precise four-sided cube with a diamond saw.

“Textiles had been relegated to a secondary role in our society, to a material that was either functional or decorative. I wanted to give it another status and show what an artist can do with these incredible materials.”
