The season of Summer
Tuesday, January 4, 2011 at 2:28PM The season of Summer means a chance to concentrate on basketry work and fibre forms. The warmer weather means longer days and more time to spare. I will begin work on pieces in the coming weeks which will take me some time to complete. One work, hanging on my bedroom wall, needs resolving and I have a few ideas that I would like to try out. Cane, inflorescence and colourful twines are materials that I am drawn to at present. Primarily the shape is my focus then I work out what basketry technique I can utilise to put it together.
In the months ahead I am looking forward to attending the Basketry Biennial Gathering in Port Sorell in Tasmania in March. In April Basketmakers of Victoria will hold an exhibition - 'Drift' on Herring Island.
