"These rugs fuse various cultures, both in their inspiration and their construction. The rugs, all based on original designs created by Emma Gardner, employ either hand-knotting or hand-tufting. The hand-knotted rugs are made by Tibetan weavers in Nepal, using 100% Tibetan wool and/or Chinese silk. The hand-tufted rugs are made in India of 100% New Zealand wool. The age-old techniques, as well as the origin of the materials, can therefore be aptly described as global.
But Gardner�s international flair goes one step further, since she takes her artistic cues from wildly disparate locales: �Born in Japan, reared in NYC and now living in rural Connecticut, Gardner�s muses reflect this journey. Primary influences include Asian art, urban fashion, pop art and natural forms.� The resulting fusion works with varying aesthetic tastes�Emma Garner rugs are at home with everything from sheet glass to cherry wood." tells 3rings.
