Deirdre Dyson FLOATING GLASS Custom handmade rug

FLOATING GLASS is an hand knotted rug in wool and silk.‎ Goodweave certified.‎ Being on a boat made me think of all the bits of worn glass that we often find washed up on beaches hence the vibrant blue silks in this design ‘float’ in their watery setting.‎ Inspired by the act of looking at and through glass, ‘Looking Glass’ consists of eight carpet designs, including ‘Transparent’, a reinterpretation of decorative shapes on a coloured vase and ‘Light Between’, a play on contrasting monochrome grading with the illusion of light.‎ ‘Slivers’, which stems from a series of small flat discs of overlapping glass, combines 33 colours in wool and silk while ‘Looking Through’ began as a painting of the distortions seen through a water-filled flask against the real shapes behind.‎ Each Deirdre Dyson carpet is totally bespoke and can be made to order in any shape or size.‎
