‘A Twice Woven Rug’  re-invents the conventional flat-woven rug by employing an inventive new production technique, borne of the traditional processes inherent in weaving.

"Wool is handwoven into 25cm strips. These strips are then woven again into a loosely woven rug. It is woven twice. It looks woven. The rug looks like an oversized detail of a flattened basket. It looks like something small, enlarged - a collection of knots that create a place. [At first,] we cut strips of paper and wove them together; a simple childish activity. We made models and drawings. We made different arrangements. We looked at them. We made some small ones that we carried around with us in our notebooks. We made some larger ones that we pinned on the wall. We made some large ones to sit on. We tried different colors. We tried patterns. It took time. These are from that series of work."
