This is taken from a painting by Canadian artist Emily Carr of her pet monkey, Woo, a Javanese macaque. Ms. Carr is still much revered in her home British Columbia and her art is/was much loved by mother and daughter. Joanne’s health declined rapidly as she began this rug, selecting and dying the wool, laying it out, but hooking little of it before she became incapacitated. A good friend of her’s finished it for us, a friend who sadly died herself not long after.
