Prairie Carpet was commissioned by Esso Resources for its research facility at the University of Calgary, AB. I was given free rein to explore my own concepts. I was interested in the kilims of nomads in the Middle East and the Alberta landscape. These two very different interests came together in Prairie Carpet - a magic carpet flying over the Rocky Mountains on a starlit night.

You can see that the top 90 cm of the tapestry hang overtop the tapestry. This means that there is 90 cm of tapestry directly underneath that nobody will ever see even though this woven area is as detailed as the rest of the tapestry.
