Episode notes
In this episode of NeedleXChange I interview Liv Aanrud.
Liv Aanrud is a Los-Angeles based artist whose vibrant tufted rug art pieces are a new form of folk art. These large scale pieces simultaneously explore two realms of the female experience - joy and pain - and are packed with instinctual colour choices that make them visually arresting.
Among other things, we talk about the perceived novelty of tufted rugs as an art form and how Liv’s rural upbringing influenced her aesthetic.
