Reposted from @marieke.gelissen In August 2021 I Reposted from @marieke.gelissen 

In August 2021 I wove a 'basket' from willow rods, in collaboration with weaver Barbara Mahler (@babsmahler). Not just 'a' basket, but a specific one with its own form and characteristics. 

Now I am working on a ‘woven poem’ to accompany this basket. This poem consists of quotes from legends and stories in which the basket has a symbolic or mythical function. These quotes are taken from H.H. Bobarts’ ‘Basketwork through the ages’, a remarkable publication that I luckily encountered at @vlechtmuseumnoordwolde 

The ‘woven poem’ will literally be woven. I am extremely happy that for this project I can work together with inkle and tablet weaving expert Marieke Kranenburg (@dutchinkleweaver). Her skills, expertise and network are crucial in this project.

A team of experienced weavers tested out a variety of techniques, materials and letter patterns. Based on that we made the final decisions on colors, materials and techniques. 

It will take a while before I can show you the results, since weaving by hand is a time consuming proces. But it is nice to give you a glimpse of the proces already.

🙏 Thanks a lot to @fonds_kwadraat for providing an artist loan that enabled me to take this project to the next level!
