Rugs for the Wall
I have worked with pile weaves using the Finnish Ryijy knotting technique for many years. Ryijy is a traditional woven rug made and used for centuries in Finland. However, it is technique that lends itself to contemporary interpretation.
It enables me to have complete control of the colour and I have incorporated it into many ideas, colour blending within the individual knots and using different materials.
