Ripped and teared is a range of five carpets. This is a hand ‘punked’ version of this design which appears in an age where punk and anarchic sentiment are a welcome change from our everyday media cycle.
“The gesture of instinctively ripping paper is followed by the precise action of creating a composition of balancing shapes and colours. Each composition is then carefully turned into unique knotted rugs revealing the torn and rough edges. The design process develops in two steps: one free and one restrained and the result is fresh and joyful.
