Jeni Ross - Public Art Commissions : Rugs | Tapestry

"Magic Carpet" Tufted Wool Pile Carpet:
4200 x 3200mm

The Commissions were funded by the National Lottery and regional Arts Lottery Programme awards and formed part of the Castle Museum refurbishment. I was engaged as one of a team of 6 artists working on the project. The brief was to make artworks responding to the theme 'A sense of Place'. My contribution celebrates living history through a woven tapestry in the Main Entrance, a large carpet in the Castle Keep and etched glass figures on doors through the building

The four attributes held by the figures in the tapestry and on the doors represent Architecture, Literature, Conflict and Landscape. The design of the carpet was developed from aspects of the Castle Keep and the artist's personal collection of artefacts from Norfolk

Commissioned 2001.
