Mushroom Basket Series
Coiled Baskets, 2007-2008
This collection of coiled baskets was inspired by my fascination with mushrooms in the wild, particularly their otherworldly forms, textures and colors. I love the surprise in suddenly spotting a lone mushroom, and the amazement in coming upon a colony. I hope to recreate that sense of discovery and amusement with these whimsical sculptural pieces. The basket sets of two or more pieces can be rearranged in a multitude of ways, and the individual baskets have moveable parts. These baskets "come alive" with viewer interaction.
