Mixed media sculpture

I have been using this time at home to experiment with weaving with a variety of materials into freeform sculptures.  Basket reed, grasses, beads, and sticks of twisted vine are combined into shapes which mimic forms found in nature. The mixed media sculptures shown below start with round reed inserted into a drilled wooden base.  


Woven pod-like shapes are woven with reed and seagrass and attached to the wooden base.  Wooden beads are attached to the largest vessel that extends from on end of the twisted wooden stick. 


A pod-like vessel extends from one end of the wooden twist.  The round form closes upon itself and flattens to an arch of woven fibers which are attached to the other end of the wood creating a circular  loop.
