This week’s #collectionwednesdays is this superb wool rug, “Freud’s Study,” by Susan Flavell.⠀

‘The wolf on the rug swallows the carpet that sits beneath the desk on which Freud worked, swallows the ground on which he stood. The incompatible perspectives underlie shifting grounds.’ – Susan Flavell, 2015⠀
⠀
Freud’s Study was created after a residency in 2013 at the Freud Museum, London by Flavell and six other Western Australian artists. The residency resulted in an exhibition in 2015 @pica_perth titled An Internal Difficulty. ⠀
⠀
Susan Flavell is one of Western Australia’s most accomplished mid-career artists.
