This piece is intended primarily as textile wall art. If displayed on the floor, regular or heavy foot traffic is not recommended.

Deep blue rolls over cream in a few broad bands, with a thin seam of pink caught between them. A wave, stripped back to almost nothing. The gallery was shot on the shoreline a short walk from the studio, and the woman holding the piece up against that water is Ksenia Derr, who tufted it.

This is a calm object for calm rooms. Its 31.5 × 23.6 in works above a nightstand, over a reading chair, or on the narrow stretch of wall a den never quite knows what to do with. At about 5.25 lbs it hangs without ceremony, and mounting loops go onto the textile back whenever you ask. The non-slip layer underneath keeps it stable when displayed on the floor.

The making is entirely manual: acrylic yarn fed through a stretched base cloth with a hand-held gun, line after line, then the pile sheared level. Look at the close-up photographs and you can see what that produces, a dense, low-relief field in which every band of color rises into a ridge your fingers can follow.

Harmony of Waves is made to order at $245 and needs three business days before it ships, free and tracked across the US. Upkeep costs you minutes: a lint roller takes dust and hair, a gentle vacuum handles the rest, and a deep stain belongs to a professional cleaner rather than to a scrub brush. If 31.5 × 23.6 in is the wrong shape for your wall, the same wave gets redrawn and tufted to fit, with the price scaling to the area.
