The Atlas Canvas

About this piece

This is not a rug with a pattern. This is a painting that happens to be made of wool. The Atlas Canvas is a large-format Moroccan Mrirt rug of extraordinary artistic ambition — a swirling, flowing composition of electric turquoise, warm earth brown, vivid orange, pure ivory and deep burgundy — moving across the surface like a landscape seen from the window of a plane, or a dream half-remembered, or the inside of something ancient and alive. There is nothing like this anywhere in the world.
