Shell X 10”x18”x11” 2023
Finding shells on the beach always gets my creativity flowing. I love the varied shell forms and the impact the sand and the sea has on them. The shells are spiral accretions, formed much like the coiling technique I use to create my one of a kind shell sculptures. The form of each fiber sculpture is tightly coiled giving surprising strength to each piece. The neutral sandy tone of the linen warp thread reflects the beach and enhances the nuance between solids and voids.
My fiber sculptures are in the round. Each piece is tightly constructed and will retain its form. The materials I utilize to create each piece will last. The pieces can be handled gently and many can have viewing positions changed by turning it or hanging it. All of the sculptures are created with the coiled basketry technique and wrapping using braided poly cord, unbleached linen warp, a needle and scissors.
