Lines stretch horizontally in tension, recalling the shadow of a
suspended pylon. Silk structures catch the brightest parts of light; the wool rests
between. The embedded knots form their own rhythm across this grid — a
counter-sequence, tracking light and labor.
About the collection:
LIMINAL is a triptych of hand-knotted rugs that sit at the edge of time, form, and
visibility.
“ At 4PM, architecture begins to move .The
sun stretches across surfaces, casting sharp,
oblique shadows that redefine space.”
LIMINAL is a series of hand-knotted rugs that capture the ephemeral hour when light
creates new geometries and silence settles in, focusing not just on shadow, but on
the people who exist alongside it. Each rug subtly incorporates artisan “signatures” as
a record of human rhythm.
The design translates shadow behavior into woven form, creating surfaces that
modulate light as an embodied experience. Key features include:
1. Signatures: Traditionally a temporary knot, this gesture is retained and
elevated in LIMINAL as a permanent knot cluster, making irregularity a record
of co-authorship.
2. Light & Shadow: Rooted in sciography, the rugs use pared-down forms to
explore how light breaks, folds, and reframes space, undoing depth while
suggesting it.
3. Material Contrast: The interplay of smooth, reflective silk (higher pile) and
stippled, matte hand-spun wool absorbs and reflects light differently, ensuring
the surfaces are never static. This transforms shadow into material, shaping
light across the rug’s planes throughout the day.
