Edinburgh-based textile artist Linda Green created this rug with Dovecot Studios in 2010 for the exhibition Intimate Spaces: Material Lives. Seeking to represent an aspect of the Edinburgh Maggie’s Centre through the design, Linda settled on the Centre’s colour palette as her focus. She had worked as a colour consultant for the Centre’s architects and used her knowledge of the Centre’s colour scheme to create a design comprised of a playful pattern of dots. The colours in Linda’s design were then painstakingly colour matched by Dovecot Master Weaver Douglas Grierson to create the desired effect. The carefully spaced dots are typical of Linda’s wider interests in order, random processes, and geometry.
