Ply-splitting; artist-made linen cords
This is a shape I now come back to again and again – I enjoy how I can pull some of the cords really tight to create this undulating surface, taking some cords out of the weave gradually so that this narrowing form is revealed. This piece started when I realised that I didn’t like pink, and would never work with it – then decided to embrace this and make a vessel in pink, without quite knowing how it would turn out. I loved making it and it’s now one of my favourite pieces.
