This is a "boucherouite" (boo-shay-REET) rug, made in Morocco - made of torn and used clothing. Read more about these in a NY Times article about an exhibition earlier this year, "Rags to Richesse". There are photos with the article, and a slide show.
Using rag-rug techniques for artwork for walls and elsewhere - sometimes even for on the floor
Thanks for sharing this article from NY Times. The slide show is interesting too. Good to see a close view of the rugs.
ReplyDeleteEach rug seems to tell a story....
Have been collecting them for a while, during my monthly trips to morocco. Just fabulous, so fabulous that I will "share" (make available) many pieces for boucherouite-lovers like me ;-)
