A Rag Rug

Way back when in Finland, when I was a kid, I spent a summer holiday weaving rag rugs. There was an intervening interval of all sorts of life experiences, and then I was re-introduced to rag rug weaving. It is violently cathartic to bang out a rag rug. Another beneficial aspect is that recycled fabric is used to create art. I have a new reason to keep all the old sheets not only from my household, but from everyone else’s (who’s willing to give them up to me). It is pragmatic art made from old, worn-out material.
