Mary Giles: Natural expressions

Article Abstract:

The work of Mary Giles fits comfortably into contemporary American Basketry, a genre loosely defined as encompassing sculptural forms that may incidentally, be vessels. She focused on coiling with waxed linen, and for a short time her baskets were reminiscent of intensely colored sea creatures sprouting intertwining tentacles.
