Tumbling Blocks Rugs

Runner: 2'x5', Rug: 2'x3', 100% wool rug yarn on a cotton backing, 2024

The Tumbling Blocks Rugs are inspired by the traditional tumbling blocks pattern in American folk crafts including antique hooked rugs and quilts. Starting with this classic and dynamic pattern, I elongate and merge the geometric components to interrupt the dimensional regularity and create more movement in these contemporary versions.
