Plant - Willow my own grown for baskets
Location - Grown in a nearby bit of land
Notes - I am back and waiting for the new materials to grow up! it is cold and
windy and wet. I was inspired by rope I saw in a museum when I in Spain which
was made from willow and hazel rods really quite thick and also used to make
halters for cattle, my hands can only cope with this thinner stuff but I also found
that it is slippery and hard to get a grip on it, maybe you make it with the end fixed?
make a rope a day....100 ropes / 50 plants NEW - exhibited NOW for 2012 they will be at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig in Sleat on the Isle of Skye from Sat 4th Feb to Mon 16th April These ropes are an exploration of plants, of place, and of my personal responses to these through the making of them. 100 ropes/ 50 plants was exhibited in Inverness museum and art gallery in July/ August 2011 and at the SNH headquarters Great Glen house Inverness Sept/Oct 2011.
