orchard street farmhouse, boulder, co

we created warmth and continuity in this bright, extensive living room by establishing a cohesive color palette of neutrals and a range of teal blues and including a variety of texture in the leather sofa, the felt ottomans, the layered rugs, sheepskins, the cozy fabric corner sofa and the textile wall piece commissioned from fiber artist, erica green.

green’s process is to knot and connect fibers and threads together in a repetitive, meditative manner that gradually becomes a visual accumulation and record of the time it takes to heal. each knot begins as a distinctive moment and eventually blends into the greater experience, impossible to distinguish. as such, her work represents the intricacies of time and healing.

this piece incorporated colored thread and thick felt bands tied onto the ends of the knotted yarn. green’s work grounds the room with depth, dimension and interest.
