Artist Statement
When i was creating these i really wanted to focus on creating final pieces that i will be 100% showing in my show. I wanted the final rug to be different but also show aspects of my own style. Being able to get a tattoo and bring that concept into my work really showed the wide veriety i can do. I enoyed more of this work that ive done in a while and contume to keep doing work like this as best as i can.
Artist inspiration:
17th Century Rug: This rug represents the village carpet-weaving tradition of the Caucasus that was contemporaneously with court production in Ottoman Turkey and Safavid Iran. While rugs produced in royal workshops had flowing, floral patterns, those from provincial weaving centers retained a strongly geometric character. The motif of highly stylized dragons, which are depicted here, gave the name "Dragon Carpet" to this type of rug which was produced in Trans-Caucasia.
