TRACKS
Hand knotted rug in wool and silk
TRACKS is an hand knotted rug in wool and silk. Goodweave certified.
‘Tracks’ – Deirdre reveals, “My challenge with this one was to give the illusion of fluid movement, but using only straight lines. The light silken lines change the horizontal colour below to a lighter tone and appear to flow vertically above them.”
Deirdre has injected a totally fresh dimension into her 2023 collection, with ten new designs that celebrate the striking effect created by interplaying angles and linear shapes. Her hand sketches were transposed with design technician Nichola into computer designs, Deirdre cleverly applying her eye for colour to turn them into designs that produce different illusions. Such as, a three dimensional or transparent appearance, or to give a sense of depth and distance. All in all, it’s a collection that Ancient Greek pioneers of trigonometry would be delighted by – as it artistically brings their theories to life!
