Symphony in Ash by Jeremy Frey

Vessel  /  Pattern
 
This elaborate geometric basket has been realised on an impressive scale and reinterprets ancestral Wabanaki nation weaving techniques to create a unique modern form. Materials native to Maine, including sweet grass and brown ash, have been harvested from the artist’s immediate environment, split into thin strips and then plate-woven into a lidded basket comprising two pieces. Graphic surface patterning has been achieved by colouring some of the strips with dye. The work also features spiked quill projections, created through a complex multi-layered porcupine weaving process.
