Contemporary Handwoven Wool Rug Red and Grey Toned Kilim or Tapestry

About the Item

Inspired by the physics of light. The shifting tones and negative space echo the spectrum of light emitted from an object as it moves away from us in space. The asymmetrical design is meant to reinforce our contemporary use of space: ever changing, always moving, informal. Constructed with traditional kilim techniques and tightly spun rug yarn Each color included in this rug was hand-dyed by the artist to achieve the subtle variety in tones. Handwoven by the artist in his Brooklyn, NY studio. This rug may include minor imperfections representing the true nature of the natural materials and hand-crafted techniques. The back of the rug has not been finished in order to indicate the artist's intended composition. One end has been finished with a cotton header and hand sewn hem. The other end has been hem-stitched on the loom with 8" cotton fringe. May be hung as a tapestry or laid on the floor as a rug. Note: the appearance of color may vary slightly depending on your interior lighting. If you are interested in matching precise color please request additional photos for review. 81.5" x 56.5" + 6" fringe on one end 100% New Zealand wool yarn on cotton warp Hanger not included.

Handwoven Wool Rug / Kilim, Grey & Jewel Tone, Natural Dye, by Andrew Boos
By Andrew Boos
Located in Brooklyn, NY
This rug is a one of a kind heirloom piece. Inspired by light and movement, the asymmetrical design is meant to enhance the flow of any space. With references to both Art Deco and contemporary design elements, this piece will stand out as an addition to any interior space. Andrew Boos seeks to redefine what a rug is. His work is not meant to be the static anchor of a room, rather it is a new architectural element. As usable art, his rugs encourage the flow of movement through a space. They redirect the focus from 2d static wall decorations to an element that creates an immersive environment. His rugs become a focal point, and invite you to enter and experience the space in a way that traditional rugs cannot. The entire process of creating this rug was done in the artist's Brooklyn studio. From dying the yarn, to weaving and finishing the piece. No part of the process is outsourced. Each work produced by the artist is a bespoke heirloom piece. The rug is woven with traditional Kilim techniques, using interlocking yarn to add strength and stability and is strong enough to withstand daily traffic. As a handmade piece this rug may include minor imperfections and variations, representing the true nature of the natural materials and techniques. The back of the rug has been finished so the piece may be reversed. Each color included in this rug was hand-dyed by the artist using natural dyes to achieve the subtle variety in tones. The greys were created using logwood, tannin and iron. The plum and magenta shades of purple were created with cochineal, a small insect native to Mexico. Cochineal has been an integral part of many traditional fiber arts...
