“My work usually begins with some sort of image, which could very abstract. It might be a line of grass, sometimes it’s just a color, sometimes it’s something about the quality of a whole landscape. Then I usually go and make a scale drawing of the mold I am going to build, or of the basket as I want it to be or both
Then I build the mold,Then I make layer upon layer of paper with these inclusions of reed or cord and build it up. Eventually it comes off the mold, and then it needs to be shaped and painted. I go through periods of using lots of color and then using no color and just concentrating
on the form.”
