Charlotte Schnabl, in Austria.

Charlotte Schnabl is a multi-disciplinary Austrian artist based in Brussels. For her Kilim Schabl took geometric forms commonly found in traditional carpets, rearranging and enlarging the shapes to give the rug a contemporary atmosphere.

I am fascinated by the end result of the kilim. Due to the limits of the weaving process the strict geometric lines of my drawing became slightly bowed, very human in the end. A simple colour is not a simple colour but ten at the same time...
