Æquo presents By Fire, a solo exhibition featuring the works of Kelly Wearstler. Some encounters carry an unusual clarity, as if a direction quietly reveals itself long before a project begins. When Æquo invited Kelly Wearstler in 2024 to shape a collection in conversation with its partner artisans in India, it came with an immediate sense of rightness. Since its founding in 2022 in Mumbai, the gallery has committed itself to creating bridges between India’s master craftspeople and visionary designers from around the world, cultivating dialogues that allow longstanding techniques to inform contemporary creation without erasing their lineage. Within this framework, Kelly Wearstler, who founded her studio in 1995 in Los Angeles, marked a singular moment. Her influence spans architecture, interiors and product design, and while she has collaborated widely across creative fields, India had never entered her practice until now.
