Greek Welcome Mat


These are all pages from my sketch book. My country was Greece and I focused on how much their culture was centered around family. The government of Greece considers anyone who lives under the same roof to be members of the same family. I played with the idea of connection and grouping of individual pieces creating a whole. For my final product, I used rope to create individual spirals that were connected by a blue ribbon. The mat reflects the idea of the journey a visitor to a house would encounter. The individual circles come together to create a larger composition just as an individual entering the house would be part of the family.
