Contemporary, Wild Colourful Carpet, Angel Forever Swirl by Alfie Furry Friends

About the Item

A soft spot tapestry. On being an Angel. On Angels having your back. On feeling too much. On pure hearts up to no good. Forever swirling guardians of your space. Hand tufted and embroidered wool. The layers of different heights are sculpted to create a lush textured lanscape. The rug has a rich cotton back- Hand tufted and embroidered wool. The layers of different heights are sculpted to create a lush textured lanscape. The rug has a rich cotton back- ing and is finished with a hand applied embroidery stitch. The wool yarns are collected factory leftovers from The Netherlands, India and Nepal. Depend- ing on avaliablitiy of yarns small color variations can appear.   My name is Alfhild Kulper. I am a Swedish artist and designer, aiming to create physical representations of the soft spots in our minds. I graduated from Central Saint Martins University of the Arts London 10 years ago. And have since lived in the Netherlands, working as a fashion designer for the dutch brand Viktor & Rolf. In 2019 I started making textile art under the name Alfie’s Fuzzy Friends, and in 2021 I took the scary and exciting leap to become a full time artist. Turning from dressing the body towards dressing our living spaces. Creating emotionally loaded, soft shaped textile pieces. Using a mix of traditional tufting techniques with 3D embroidery, I craft landscapes and figures, out of leftover wool from the textile industry in India. They depicture abstract memories of joy and our guardian angels and selves. Thinking of our new digital habitats, that we create as we change and demolish our original landscapes. A glimpse of a lighter world. And a hopefulness of new beginnings and excitement for what is to come.
