Portfolio All Photos by Larry Sanders
Black/brown ash basketry is taken to a new form when the traditional wood splint is showcased in Susan kavicky’s work. Whether the structure is organic or architectural, the satin of black ash is always the center of attention. It is the satin that compels Susan to work with black ash. Influenced by a strong commitment to the creative process Susan strives to listen and follow the developing work rather than direct a specific result.
