Traditions made Modern Collection
Traditions Made Modern, which is a life style collection that reflects the
meeting and melding of the diverse cultures that have resided or passed
through New Mexico over the past 400 years. The rugs of this collection
were inspired by the Pueblo pottery and Navajo textiles from the Museum of
Indian Arts and Culture and the Museum of International Folk Art. The rugs
have a graphic clarity and rhythmic coverage of field that are at ease in modern settings
as well as rustic folk schemes. Shades of cream, taupe, red and black remain true to the
original natural dyes used by tribal artisans. Olive, sage and dusky blue hues allude to
landscapes and endow the rugs with a feeling of timelessness. Crafted of 100% wool, the
tweeded, richly hued surface is the result of a mixture of yarns chosen to give service and
pleasure for years to come. Woven on a Wilcom machine using a loop/tip shear
construction, then hand-finished, each rug suggests the surface depth of a hand-crafted
artifact. |
