Inspired by artists' homes and studios, his home reflects a personal collection of artworks, ceramics, textiles and functional objects, each selected for its craftsmanship, materiality, shape or connection to a person or place. These assembled interiors continue to influence both his creative process and the spaces his work is made to inhabit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhether creating a quilt, textile assemblage, collage or rug, Julius approaches each piece through the assembly of materials and the arrangement of form, developing a visual language that moves naturally between artworks, objects and interiors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlongside the studio practice, Julius teaches quilting and textile workshops and is the author of Modern Quilting: A Contemporary Guide to Quilting by Hand. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally with organisations including TOAST, The New Craftsmen and the Crafts Council.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"arrangements","title":"Arrangements","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConstructing the artwork for the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArrangement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e rug began by looking back at traditional design features like borders and central motifs and interpreting these through the textural marks of paint brush strokes. After the initial mark making response to these elements often seen in rugs, they were repositioned into a series of compositions, which led to an assemblage that balanced the contrasting elements. This curated outcome plays with the conception of setting out rooms, disrupting the way these elements align and creating depth and comfort in the abrash dye techniques.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMuch like the considered placement within a room, the Arrangement rug distributes colour, texture and form aligned within a rectangular boundary. Within the containment of this rug the eye sets into the effects of ink seeping into fabric through a flowing brush stroke and contrasts with grainy colour blocking. This rug is hand knotted in Nepal using 100% Tibetan wool.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Husain International","offers":[{"title":"160cm x 230cm","offer_id":57298181816702,"sku":"Arrangements - 160cm x 230cm","price":3570.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"180cm x 270cm","offer_id":57298181849470,"sku":"Arrangements - 180cm x 270cm","price":4720.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"200cm x 300cm","offer_id":57298181882238,"sku":"Arrangements - 200cm x 300cm","price":5820.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250cm x 350cm","offer_id":57298181915006,"sku":"Arrangements - 250cm x 350cm","price":8490.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample","offer_id":57327254536574,"sku":"Arrangements - Sample","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/9819\/4660\/files\/arrangements-house-of-quinn-handknotted-rug-cream-brown-red-web1.jpg?v=1776871490"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/9819\/4660\/collections\/House-of-quinn-arrangements-rug-headshot-lifestyle-low-res2.jpg?v=1786635602","url":"https:\/\/www.floorstory.co.uk\/collections\/house-of-quinn.oembed","provider":"FLOOR_STORY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
