2010
This basket was fabricated following a workshop with Miwok - Paiute basketmaker, Julia Parker. I was beautiful to hear her family stories while preparing and weaving the fibers during the workshop. Learning about sourcing materials and fabrication styles for baskets that cook, carry and store foodstuffs in granaries was inspiring.
Years later, this basket when dampened it still spells like willow.
