Mirabel Basket

Follow Along

Join us tomorrow, November 21st from 5:30–7:30 PM, for the opening reception of my work at @wilder.house in Chicago!

I will also be there Saturday from 1–4 PM, offering a full range of pieces. Here’s a current favorite sculpture ma

The Spindles, inspired by traditional twined onion and garlic baskets. Fun to make, fun to use 🌀

The mini baskets obviously have everything to do with scale, and as I developed them, my curiosity grew for going big, and bigger. A sort of reverse engineered, multi-gen basket family 📶
