Deirdre Dyson STAINED GLASS RUNNER Custom handmade rug

STAINED GLASS RUNNER is an hand knotted rug in wool and silk.‎ Goodweave certified.‎ Deirdre says of this design: On a visit to the Amalfi Cathedral and in one of the small rooms at the back behind all the magnificence of marble and gold was a small plain window high up with beautiful, simple pale colours.‎ The light behind it made it impossible to photograph but the colours stayed in my mind and I thought that in silk, it might make a lovely wall hanging for a windowless room.‎ 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.‎
