Jamie is a Vancouver-based artist who blends tradition and innovation in his handmade rugs. He collects, washes, cuts and dyes the materials. He makes the frames and even builds the hooks that he uses. Jamie adheres to a credo of zero waste in all of his art practice.
These hand-hooked rugs blend the worlds of art and science through 12 pieces that are visually striking and intellectually engaging. Patterns made to depict advanced scientific principles are juxtaposed with traditional construction techniques in tangible ways. Together, they reflect important ideas, ranging from the physics and movement of light to the complexities of geometry, chemistry, and artificial intelligence.
This collection juxtaposes old-fashioned craft while considering curiosity and invention. These rugs invite introspection into thought and concurrently let us feel the ideas that have shaped human thought with our fingers.
Open weekdays 10am – 2pm & weekends 12pm – 4pm
