The artist David Barilla with his first hand hooked rug titled Dragon Tale. Approximately a dozen jeans were cut into strips to create a very dense, low pile background.
After a few years of costume jewellery design, Barilla began to create wall sculpture, reliefs, after an interior decorator became interested in his display pieces in the windows of Secret Jewellers of Toronto and suggested he go large scale. Aluminium and painted masonite were his chosen materials.
