This blanket was designed by Johannesburg based artist and printmaker, Bevan de Wet.
Bevan’s artworks exist through etching, printing, paper making and drawing to name a few. He is like a mad scientist of paper, never afraid to experiment and to push boundaries in the creation of different surfaces and outcomes. Except he is not mad at all. In fact, he is a genuine gentleman and meticulous in his craft, also an eager educator, we love him for that.
Bevan is an independent artist with his own print studio named Eleven Editions. He has multiple impressive exhibitions under his belt and his work is highly sought after by collectors all over the world.

“Stratum is an exploration of organic forms found in nature, from rock and stone structures on the landscape to the hidden layers or strata below the surface. Drawing from natural processes and accidental mark making, Stratum explores the tensions between the soft and hard organic shapes found in nature.The image making process began with cutting out various shapes into different sheets of paper; which creates new unplanned shapes when the layers are laid over each other, partially obscuring shapes and fragmenting into new forms.” - Bevan de Wet
