"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.
