Basketmaker

I make organic, sculptural forms in willow, using techniques from the rich craft tradition of basketmaking. My vessel forms and weaving style seek to convey something from the landscape beyond my normally urban life; and the natural processes that form it. I am drawn to spare open landscapes: the high curves and low curves of the Yorkshire Dales and Wolds, Norfolk and Suffolk coasts, estuaries and tidal mudflats; and the forms and patterns made by water, wind and wave.

Focus:
sculptural willow baskets

Available for commissions
