DAPHNE MASON (1928 - 2020)
Mason was typical of woman artists of her era - as a young female artist she did not have a studio and had to work from her kitchen, alongside raising a family. Indefatigable in her energy, after the death of her husband Mason returned to New Zealand from London at the age of 75 years and continued to paint for several hours a day until her death. Mason was invited to show in Kiwi Consciousness: Contemporary Artists from New Zealand, part of the Imago Mundi Luciano Benetton World Art Collection, in Italy in 2016. As a practising contemporary artist Mason had a keen sense of observation and insight that animated her work.

A LITTLE ABOUT THE ARTIST
Daphne passed away in June 2020, one week after her 92nd birthday. Although struggling with the effects of her final illness, and macular degeneration, Daphne managed to complete some final drawings the week before her death; and took great delight in knowing that renowned designer rug firm, Dilana, had completed one of her works for their Artist’s Collection.
HOW KNOTTED WORKS
Collaboration
We work with artists who have an exceptional way of combining aesthetic goals with intriguing design, to create luxurious handmade rugs.
Creativity
Our designs are not simply the conversion of paintings, prints or other works into carpets, but a rethinking of ideas to the possibilities of textured items primarily designed for horizontal floor surfaces.
Limited Edition
These creative ideas do not follow fleeting trends, and will never be mass produced. The result of these collaborations are timeless and exclusive.
