What drew me to this basket was the detail of the diamond form created by the stitching between the coils. This basket, largely made from nature, sends a strong message about the human relationship to the physical world. Baskets are one of the earliest forms of art making. They hold, carry, and hide our things. Finlay’s coiled baskets, which incorporate long-leaf pine needles and porcupine quills, offer us beautiful examples of this time-honored traditional craft.
