Experience Heather Chontos’s Paintings Underfoot<\/h1>\n\n\n

It takes up to 10 days for two to three artisans to make a Heather Chontos<\/a>\u2013designed rug. That\u2019s hardly surprising considering the New York\u2013born, Europe-based artist\u2019s abstract paintings, literally drawn on everything from antique fabrics to stitched-together pieces of jute and found wood planks, are engrossingly alive with color and shape\u2014and thus no small feat to replicate in hand-tufted New Zealand wool. Instinctively rendered lines and chroma fields define the three area rugs Collage, Kaleidoscope, and Blue Lake, with space, solid, and abrash dyeing capturing the depth of Chontos\u2019s work. (\u201cI don\u2019t choose the colors, they sort of come to me,\u201d she says, musing about her process.) Layered<\/a>\u2019s weavers switch between 10 and 15 yarn shades to follow the patterns before hand-cutting the rug to finish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
