...Linda Sorem, an artist
who creates sculptural baskets that seem to go beyond the realm of what we
know of basketry. Although the form starts out as a basic woven structure,
each piece is embellished with beads , metal and various other accents to
create a unique sculpture, which is organic in its form but alive with color
and texture...
...The process begins with taking wet rattan reed and creating a basket form
with a very random weave. Once satisfied with the shape, she reinforces the
structure with larger rattan. When its time to focus on the surface, she
will add metal, shells, beads and possibly even more rattan to create her
unique vessels...
