This series of ceramic works are produced through 3D printing coils of ceramic material to mimic woven baskets. Each transitioning to dramatic spirals of coiled pine needle basketry partway up the vessel, the works are adorned with long, loose strings of beads pointing in multiple directions. They demonstrate the ways a form or a line can contain multiplicities and suggest analogies and throughlines between traditional forms of making and expansion away binaries and borders between land and cosmos.
