The Silver Carpet: A Sanctuary for Lovers
Daveed Kapoor and Alison Kudlow collaborated to create a uniquely peaceful space for the couple to reconnect after the ceremony when prompted to think about the jewish ritual called Yichud, where the man and wife would have a secluded time together after just gettting married. The artists re-imagined the traditional atrium—a domestic area open to the sky—by installing a fabric roof with a rectangular opening over the bed. They created a bed of Silver Carpet (Lessingia), a California native, as the first place for the couple to lay together post-nuptials.

A week later Bec, Ruben, Daveed and Alison planted the silver-leafed vines on an unkempt hill across the street from the couple’s home.
