ARTIST STATEMENT By Anita Bell
My rug designs have been about using the natural organic colours found in the surroundings. I find inspiration from all outside elements, predominantly from landscape views and found objects in their natural surroundings.
The magnetism has also been about geometric patterns and Tessellations.
I am more drawn towards the natural untouched places where the impact from humans has been less evident on the landscape.
Formulating my designs from this process and using the colour palette from the location, it is hoped to reflect the natural colours found in nature to possibly create a feeling of wellbeing. To reconnect people with the beauty of nature and by this, bring it in to our daily life.
