The frontier province of Yunnan is home more than half of China’s ethnic groups, including the Naxi people who perfected the ancient practice of felting wool. Using wool sourced from the region, contemporary textile artists employ the traditional method of agitating wet wool until its fibers become entangled to create this mesmerizing wool felt rug. Using the neutral colors found in natural, undyed wool, the artists exploit the dense, matted nature of felt to meld organically shaped concentric circles into textile compositions evocative of Color Field paintings.
