Description
BREON O'CASEY (BRITISH 1928-2011)
'COLOURED HILLS' RUG
wool
133.5cm x 111cm (52 ½in x 43 5/8in)
Private Collection, UK.
Literature:Fallon, Brian and Breon O'Casey, Breon O'Casey, Scolar Press, Aldershot, 1999, p.140, illustrated. "To see a rug grow so slowly, from thread after thread, was one of the greatest delights of my life! I loved weaving. If my legs allowed me, I would be working away still. It is the most delightful of occupations…Each rug is guaranteed to make you despair at least once, to curse the lack of exact colour you want, to make do with what you have to, turn water into wine. It has helped me with my painting. Painting is so quick. To decide to put a red line across a painting, and it’s done, and then what. To put a red line across a rug takes the best part of a morning and during that time the next step is clear."
