It is the memory of a Venetian Carnival which sparked this project. The feeling of that intense celebration demanded ‘a freedom to move’ that Kiki found in watercolour: hands move quickly over paper with dancing brushstrokes painting Venetian masks and colourful streamers. There is a magical and mystical element in this celebration and the Carnival rug embraces the Nodus craftsmen’s knowhow to create a source of decadent energy.
