Palazzo reconsiders historical rug typologies as material for intervention rather than objects of preservation. Calle Henzel subjects classical patterning to cutting, sanding, washing, pigment application, and exposure to external conditions, transforming the rug from decorative support into a sculptural field.
Developed through experimentation with vintage carpets, the works were placed in northern outdoor environments where ice, frost, snow, and cycles of thaw acted directly on the fibers. Combined with paint, abrasion, and incision, these forces disrupted inherited visual systems and generated a vocabulary of fracture and deformation that informed a series of hand-knotted pieces. Some works incorporate Henzel’s Diamond Dust technique and Raw Ice Cut method within this broader inquiry.
The hand-knotted rugs retain the disruptions observed in the altered prototypes, resisting standardization through shifts in pile height, carving depth, and pigment saturation. Produced in editions, each piece diverges through the contingencies of making, foregrounding process over replication. Palazzo positions the rug as a spatial object with conceptual agency, operating between historical residue and contemporary material practice.
