materials: cotton rope, red sand
responses to this work:
-so delicate
-the way the material drapes reminds me of hair but also reminds me of a cascading waterfall.
-although the object is a basket it is reminiscent of natural landscapes (volcano, river,
hair, waterfall)
-the burned ends remind me of protective hairstyles
-birds nest
-the frayed ends are powerful
-the red inside...reminds me of a womb or wound
-this immediately reminds me of black post-minimalist work (single-material manipulation)
-i feel this sense of void; an opening to somewhere or something about to be born
-it has a very natural/nature appeal
-red sand is magical
-ancient burnt ends remind me of burning sage or burning incense
-gives me witch vibes/or that there's magic/energy
-vessels
-birth
-i feel like i stumbled upon a natural wonder
-materiality & objecthood
-womanhood
-bodily
-intestinal
-cotton history
-cascading
-it looks to me like it is being hurt
-inside the basket is red like guts/blood
-cyclical outside to inside
-reminds me of a volcano or hair
-umbilical cords
-i really enjoy the materiality of the piece. rope is a very interesting material that
manipulates the form of being a soft object. but also the stability of it. it does remind me
of womanhood + a vessel to carry
