i wove this rug with scavenged wool yarn remnants a bit over a year ago. i’ve been using it as an inside doormat ever since. i love how the fibers have bloomed and blended together with dirt and stories. bonus points: my girls can enjoy it as much as i do
I MADE THIS IN TIKTOK AND THEY CENSORED THE PART WHERE I SAY TO SUPPORT ARTISTS AND NOT JEFFREY BEZOS!!!! EVEN MORE REASON TO COME TO SNAIL FARM’S HOLIDAY MARKET THIS SUNDAY!!!!! NO MORE MONEY TO BEZOS!!!!!!!!!!

BIO

They log most hours experimenting with form and material at their loom in Lincoln Heights, weaving second-hand threads into use-as-art objects. Additionally they explore sewing, internet gleens, video & sound, and a host of other media in their artistic practice which spills in and out of their profession as a high-level fine art A/V technician and all around handy-them.

“My mother—and maybe someone you know, too—uses dryer lint skimmed from the trap to make firestarters,
homely little capsules imbued with a mythological task. Lint is not quite nothing; it still might be retrieved for
further purpose before oblivion and rebirth. Not (fer) Nothin offers works from artists who each in their way
employ a salvage mentality, gleaning materials slated for decay and refashioning them into missives on
metabolic processes and the possibilities of regeneration.”

i was commissioned to repair this Moroccan kilim rug ! it was damaged by a dog, then put into storage where it endured moth damage. the moth damage was cwazy !! some of the original blue weft threads dyed the warp, which made some of the repairs look interesting. i kept all stable warp threads for structural integrity. this was fun ! i didn’t use a thimble haha 😌
