Fire and Water - abstract design rag rug wallhanging

Description

This striking abstract piece shows a dramatic blue swirl against a red and orange background, set within a blue border.

The wall hanging is made using a rag rug technique with 4" (10 cm) long pieces of fabric prodded through a hessian background, giving a finished pile of just under 2" (5 cm).

There is a great deal of surface texture with the ends of the fabric pieces forming whorls of many different colours and shades of red, orange, rust and blue.

The fabrics used include wool, silk, denim, corduroy, cotton and synthetic mixtures. The fabrics are sourced from a variety of places including recycled clothing, auction finds, craft and fabric shops etc. Some have been over-dyed to achieve the correct colour.

The approximate dimensions are 2' (61 cm) square by 2" (5 cm) deep.

The wall hanging comes complete with a sewn channel on the reverse and a wooden baton. It could be suspended from picture cord or with hidden fixings, such as two hooks or screws. The wall hanging weighs 3.2 Kg when packed.

In the fifth photograph, the reverse of the wall hanging is shown. I will put further photos on my flickr page (please see my profile for details). I have attached a small label on the reverse with the title of the artwork and my name and the date.

Please note that colour reproduction may not be precise, but will hopefully give a good idea of what the wall hanging looks like.
