Interconnections: The Language of Basketry

May 15 - September 4, 2016 - The works created by the twenty-two artists highlighted in the Hunterdon Art Museum’s newest exhibition, Interconnections: The Language of Basketry, include everything from stapled paper to fabricated metal. Some employ found objects, others utilize clay, linen, or wire. Works range from a large interactive floor sculpture to a small intricate construction of metal and paper, but all are united by an inventive approach to an ancient craft.

This exhibition looks to the present and future by emphasizing work created within the past few years, some of it specifically for this venue. It includes an installation by Pat Hickman, who has been prominent in the contemporary basketry movement; along with unique sculptural works by artist/designer Doug Johnston, whose line of coiled cotton rope vessels is available online and at shops worldwide.
