The Dry Sea Rug
Size: 2800mm x 1800mm
Hand tufted using 100% wool yarn
Hardwearing wool - suitable for lounge or bedroom - or as a wall hanging.
This piece was inspired by Catrina Lloyd’s work “The Dry Sea” and was exhibited alongside at the “Found in Translation” exhibition in March.
“Catrina’s words about the sand and sea touched a cord with me. When you walk along Muriwai Beach you do see that the sand is not fully “black” - she is absolutely right when she says it’s “spattered with streaks of electric indigo and dusted with sweeps of caramel.” I wanted to make a really large work to exaggerate these sweeps of colour and create an immersive experience.
This work is made from 100% New Zealand yarn which, ironically, is imported back into the country at great expense after having been exported to India for dying and spinning.”
