The rug is hand-knotted and, at the artist's request, created using the same traditional techniques used in the making of the antique Tibetan tiger rugs.
'When approaching the design for my own tiger rug, I wanted to imagine it in my house: I don't live with my paintings and a rug design was very challenging. I have not worked with the process of rug making and it was an exciting medium for me to experiment with. I love the medium and collect rugs myself, mainly Tibetan, so it was going to be a doubly challenging project for me to be involved in. More than anything, I would love this project to make enough money to help save this amazing creature so that it can continue to roam wild within its natural habitat and not just be found in zoos.'
