This woven wall-hung piece is constructed primarily using the basketry technique of twining, utilizing a mix of gathered materials including: Willow, Palm Inflorescences, Washingtonia Palm Sheaths, Crocosmia Leaves, Abalone Shell pieces, and Waxed Linen. By grouping together these boat-like shapes, I wanted to convey the message that, much like our diversity of humans, these “boats of many colors” will navigate rough waters better when they stick together.
