Inspired by a Portuguese cow muzzle or ‘barbilho’ traditionally made with unbeaten esparto.

As oxen are rarely used today as draft animals in rural Portugal the traditions and locally distinctive technique of barbilho making is uncommon if not extinct.

This Sunday we’re visiting Fabricating Futures &

This Sunday we’re visiting Fabricating Futures & Involuntary Gestures, an exhibition by Gina Telcocci at Roll Up Projects, Oakland, California, on view through Nov 24. "Telcocci makes abstract sculptures that reflect on the passage of time, natural forms and aspects of movement.
Telcocci works primarily with found and foraged materials. Over the course of her career, she has utilized objects like seed pods, acorns, and branches, which are combined with paper, reed, wax, wire, plaster, and other materials to form objects that feel familiar, but otherworldly.

Thank you Gabriel for sharing your work and culture.

Posted @withregram • @gabrielfreybaskets “Nuskicinuwi-kolulak” I speak to them in our language.

“Naka tan ci wen asitemit naka ntolewestuwamkun, skicinuwi-kolulkun, eci-tehc woltaqahk.” And when they answer me in our language, it sounds so good to me.

Two Irish potato baskets. First one made its way to New York for a ninth anniversary gift. The second went to a home on nearby Whidbey Island. See the Instragram account at https://www.instagram.com/p/CWGz8Y6vyfc/ for the other images.
Just to fill in a few details. The colors are the natural bark colors of different varieties of willows that we grow on our farm. Willows are cut in winter, dried and stored for later use. The willows are soaked in water before weaving baskets. The Irish potato basket is a traditional form that Katherine learned by way of Joe Hogan’s book Basketmaking in Ireland.

Today we’re featuring a preview of Shattering I

Today we’re featuring a preview of Shattering Images: The Film Baskets of Gail Tremblay, at Froelick Gallery, Portland, Oregon. Gail’s solo exhibition will open Dec 1 and run through January 29, 2022.

“Known for her multimedia work, critical writing and poetry, Gail Tremblay (Mi'kmaq and Onondaga) is a contemporary artist, educator, and beloved Indigenous Elder who has advocated tirelessly for Indigenous artists, particularly women, throughout her career. She first began weaving film baskets — with scraps collected from the cutting room floor — in 1985 while co-teaching a course called”Feminist and Third World Film Theory and Practice” Tremblay continues to explore the material and conceptual possibilities of analog film, weaving non-traditional baskets inspired by ash splint and sweet grass fancy stitch patterns to comment on Indigenous life in the 21st century. “From an article by Cathy Denning
