A friend and collaborator on my recent @quakermarine project, @witpimkan shares my fondness for home and history. An architect by training, he has had a rich and diverse international career as an artist. His artworks are a sort of mixed media patchwork of ideas, using materials in very clever ways to communicate with us.
In recent years, p’Wit has been making boats and exploring his homeland by water. I first met him at his boat shed, tucked away in an old temple on the Chao Praya River, just north of Bangkok. He took me on my first 14km kayak trip in one of his skin-on frame kayaks, built himself from local Rattan and cloth. That trip opened up a totally new dimension to Bangkok for me. A landscape that I wasn’t familiar with, but had been somehow waiting for me.
As part of @wmenswear’s collaboration with Quaker Marine Supply, I had the privilege of chatting to @witpimkan about his art practice, boat building, and how this life on the water has changed his world view.
