BEYOND PERMANENCE AND IMPERMANENCE
"Basketry is more than just weaving. It represents a balance with the environment, seasonal collecting, material preparation, storing, aging and dying.
Baskets have always been more than just simple utensils — although functional as the core utilitarian tools of daily living. Their intricate designs often capture an event in time, telling a story (often known only to the weaver) or revealing the territory of the weaver and their clan.The woman who created baskets was many things. Not only was she an artist, but she had to be a botanist, a chemist, a poet and a mother. All had to be gathered at the proper time of the year, and all had to be prepared with love and care".
