basketry

An age-old craft, Judy has been known for pushing off into the deep end of established basketry. She likes to see what the materials will do - and usually lets them 'do their own thing'. Most anything that is flexible enough to suit Judy's purposes becomes material for basketry techniques. Not all of it is 'natural', but it is all a part of her environment.

Materials that find their way into her art work:

grapevine                                         honeysuckle vine
Virginia creeper                                 English ivy
day lily leaves                                    cattails
raspberry canes                                 driftwood
white oak shaving cordage                 seagrass
shells, rocks, beads                            zippers and belts
handmade paper/pulp                        snake skins
oxygen tubing                                  wires of all sorts
as well as rattan reed of all shapes and sizes

Judy’s nontraditional basketry work has been exhibited nationally and internationally in juried and invitational exhibits; she has curated and juried national basketry and weaving exhibits.
