Culture & Context
This material was an experiment in using traditional, natural green, English willow in combination with manmade materials, monofilament, enamelled copper. The intention being to explore how far these materials, with very different characteristic’s, could be pushed in combination, moving towards forming three dimensional works.
Process & Production
Woven using a double monofilament warp on a George Wood dobby loom. The materials used in the weft: green willow, enamelled copper, cotton braid, paper yarn, mohair. On completion of weaving the material was soaked for 12 hours. While wet it was moulded over a 20cm pipe , weft ways, weighted and left to dry.
