Description

Iona: warm and earthy viridian, cadmium, moss and blue.

Iona is one of four colourways in our British produced, sustainable wool textile collection: Rag + Bone. 40% of the wool fibres are recycled yarn from jumpers GRS (Global Recycling Standard Certified), and for the cushion inserts we are using 100% Romney Marsh wool, sourced locally to us in Kent.

The 2 metre repeat of this fabric means each time the cloth is cut an abstract colour composition is created – each cushion is unique.

Margo Selby Artist’s Statement:

“I use thread to create abstract geometric artworks that explore repetition and transition, symmetry and asymmetry, the dynamic and the stable. I draw influence from the visual world around me: architectural forms; graphic design; pattern, scale and colour combinations. Colour is the driving force behind my work. I enjoy the infinite effects of many subtle hues and tones that can be explored when blending from one colour to another.

I’m interested in the relationship between myself and the machine, hand and industry, craft and technology. The loom, and the disciplined nature of weaving as a practice, provides boundaries and constraints which can be tested. The orderly nature of the craft of weaving is reflected in the developing designs of the artworks. I am satisfied by rhythmic and uniform repetition – where each element of a composition is changed in a methodical progression.”
