With wallpaper skewing the perspective, the next plane to engage with is the floor. Playing with rugs and carpet design leads me into more options for painterly exploration. Sometimes I want to play with curves and squiggles, or more angles that distort the perspective. It can be a fine line between disorienting and just enough mental tickle. Occasionally it entices me to add a further illusion of sinking depth. That might have some meaning, but I’m not sure I want to go there…
