Places Collection
The Places collection is based on Tania’s associations and memories of the places she has visited as captured through her photography. From a cracked pavement in Zurich to a quiet haven in Kathmandu. Translated into rugs, these unique images of nature’s abstractions are woven by hand from silk and wool.
Taken while strolling through Soho in New York, Manhattan is a woven translation of a glimpse of stained lines cascading down a side street wall. A happy memory of a lovely afternoon spent with close friends.
As a single drop of water makes its way down a pane of condensation on a rainy day in London, a clear stripe of contrast is formed. A lasting reminder of my first days back in England after a long time away and a reminder that beauty can be found on a grey day too.
Zurich captures the meandering pattern of cracked lines on a pavement, reminding me of a place that will always be close to my heart, the city where I met my husband.
During a visit to the peaceful Garden of Dreams, a quiet haven in the busy Thamel area of Kathmandu, I was inspired by this leafy shadow on the pathway. While the shadow is softly hand knotted in a wool and silk pile, the pavement pattern is created through a whipstitch technique providing a textural high/low contrast.
A detour to Winchester following a family outing to the seaside resulted in this fleeting reflection of leaves in a flash rainstorm puddle. An image that will always be a reminder of children skipping in and out of puddles delighted at an unexpected visit to this beautiful city.
Inspired by the shadows of a leafy plant in the Boudha area of Kathmandu, home to an ancient Stupa.
On a wet and windy day, leafy branches brushing a rainy window on a journey to Hampton Court were the inspiration behind this delicate floral pattern
