RÊVERIE
reh·ver·ee / [noun]
(French) (a state of having) pleasant dream-like thoughts
1. Daydream
2. the condition of being lost in thought
RÊVERIE is a woven vessel series that captures my recent explorations with basketry. With these sculptures I laboriously hand shape wooden bases to anchor the fun-ctional woven vessels made of dyed reed and rattan. The loose, playfulness, raw nature of these sculptures suggest an act of release, of letting go of control, a practice basket making work is helping me to learn.
Sculpting baskets can be quite controlled and mathematical and personally, I can be too. I’ve found that weaving these vessels allows me to both lean into my needs to control but also to practice letting go.
The practice of feeding both of these parts of myself through weaving baskets feels like a daydream.
