Artistic Concept and Design Approach

The document discusses the artistic premise of creating a rug based on a painting rather than designing specifically for the rug medium. It highlights that while this approach can be questioned, in this case, the original painting was highly evocative of the hand-knotting process used in rug making. This translation from painting to rug results in a new object that is equally beautiful but distinct from the original artwork.

The artist believes the rug captures the essence of the original inspiration, which is rooted in Rajasthan, India.

SITHOND?S SNOWS-1

Sithond’s Snows gillian ayres s i t h o n d ’ s s n ows - c o n f4 2 1 a SI Z E 2.44 x 2.44m (8’ x 8’) W E AV E Hand knotted M AT E R IA L S Handspun wool & mohair rug Christopher Farr London 6 Burnsall Street London SW3 3ST Tel: 0207 349 0888 [email protected] Christopher Farr Los Angeles 748 N. La Cienega Boulevard Los Angeles CA 90069 Tel: 310 967 0064 [email protected] It is always worth questioning the premise of an artist basing a rug on a painting, as opposed to designing a piece specifically for the medium. But in this case the image was so inviting and suggestive of the hand knotting process that a rug made after the painting was attempted. The process of translation creates another object - equally beautiful but different. In the artist’s view the rug contains the essence of the original inspiration, which came from Rajasthan, India.
