FLYING CARPET #1, Irrigation Circles
Knotted pile rug, wool, linen warp
34" x 26" x 1"
This is the first in an ongoing series of small knotted pile rugs inspired by photographs I have taken from airplane windows. One of my goals in this project is to use up all of my rug wools, some dating back five decades. Since I may only work with what I currently own, I am challenged to blend colors, and to make artistic choices based on the colors at hand rather than the literal colors in the photo.
I hope to capture the magic of seeing the world from above.
