This rug created an enticing physical and emotional space on stage starting as a living room rug and transforming during the production as performers wove together contemporary adaptations of Ovid's tales of gods in Metamorphoses at Seattle Rep. It was constructed by weaving hand made tubes of stretchy cotton fabric stuffed with batting and would make a beautiful hanging tapestry.
