Lifelines

Ian Rayer Smith

Lifelines translates the expressive marks of British artist Ian Rayer-Smith into a beautifully layered hand-knotted runner. Soft washes of blue, ivory and warm grey are punctuated by rose pink, ochre and deeper accents, creating a composition that unfolds along its length.

Created in collaboration with Knots Rugs, the design preserves the spontaneity of the artist’s work, with delicate traces of colour emerging through overlapping layers.

Artist Collaboration

Ian Rayer Smith

For Rayer-Smith, painting is an instinctive and deeply personal process. Working alone in his studio, usually with music playing, he allows each painting to develop without a predetermined outcome. Marks are layered, scraped away and painted over; accidents are left visible and moments of frustration can become turning points in the work.
