Decor for the End of the World is a series of wool carpets created in response to the atmosphere of constant crisis that has consumed the last few years of our lives. This feeling brought to mind the way I felt as a child growing up in the early 1980s, when society-ending nuclear war seemed to be always around the corner. As I sheltered in place at the beginning of the pandemic, I researched fallout shelter manuals from the Cold War era, exploring how a sense of security could be transmitted through plans and diagrams. I also passed time by learning new techniques such as tapestry weaving and rug tufting. The result was a series of carpets that offer both softness and vague guidance in case of emergency.
