Deirdre Dyson MAGNIFY Custom handmade rug

MAGNIFY is an hand knotted rug in wool and silk.‎ Goodweave certified.‎ This design was accidentally created when Deirdre placed a plain glass bowl, on top of a patterned glass plate.‎ This created a magnification which she decided to represent in silk with just a tiny lightening of the colour inside the area.‎ 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.‎
