Lou Zeldis, an American living in Indonesia, worked with artisans to conserve jewelry and textile traditions (both batik and ikat). He produced unique examples of modern handicraft in various mediums using ancient techniques and material, working with living treasure artisans for over a decade around the Indonesian archipelago.
Lou passed away in 2012, but has left a fairly large collection behind, giving us the opportunity to enjoy and share his art for time to come.
