Fibre artist, Catriona Pollard uses foraged and discarded plant material with traditional basketry and assemblage techniques to reimagine nature. More on TheArtofWeaving.com.au. See her online on demand SchoolofBasketryArt.com
Her work highlights the link between raw foraged organic materials, like vines and seed pods, with earthy materials like base metals including copper, and natural elements like charcoal, clay and ash. Most contains nothing but the organic material – no glue or synthetic dyes, and most don’t even use anything to bind it together, such as thread or wire.
Catriona uses nature as a way to connect with people that goes beyond physical beauty but touches them in a personal and profound way. Transforming discarded organic material into sculptures forces people to view the natural world around them in a different way. It transforms the inherent beauty of nature into moments that encourage reflection and connection.
