Sculptural Basketry

Since learning augemented weaving from Lise Bech a basketmker in Scotland I have began making these organic sculptural baskets. The bands of different colours are created by the inclusion of different varieties of willow and give the baskets a sense of movement. All the colours are the natural colours of the willow bark. The white is the willow with the bark stripped off.
