The Trinity Series

Equality

Infinity

Power

Designed in 2019, The Trinity Series is a sculptural rug or tapestry collection subverting the traditional belief that area rugs must be square or rectilinear forms. Considered one of the strongest and most perfect forms known to nature, the triangle is a multi-layered symbol. Its three pointed form also aligns with many powerful historical and cultural trinities such as “mind, body and spirit”. A triangle pointed upward reputedly symbolizes masculinity and pointed down, represents femininity.

“Irish wool is an incredibly durable and rich material to work with. Presenting this fiber in unusual shapes and colors yields sculptural carpet forms that can double as functional floor art or wall mounted tapestry”

Inspired by the classical Spiral of Theodorus, Infinity is a departure from traditional carpet forms and a complex piece involving sixteen painstakingly selected subtle gradations of hand dyed Irish wool yarns. The shape evokes the duality of a spiral that is at the same time composed of a series of triangles. Equality and Power explore avant garde compositions of triangles and colors resulting in a synthesis of organic wool and geometry.
