"A delightful journey into the limitless potential of the woven form. 500 Baskets is a beautifully photographed overview of some extraordinary vessels created by contemporary, traditional, and multi-media artists who have created woven baskets out of, "a striking variety of materials and techniques. The infinite combinations of color, shape, and texture will challenge your concept of what defines a basket". - editors. I agree, the work selected by the editors of this book astound.
Yet, it is more than a book about baskets, much more than that. I found it inspirational as a reference to the potential of vessels, of forms, and of materials. I will pour over it again and again to look for ideas about how materials are treated, the potential of materials, and the shapes and forms they can create. As well, I will simply enjoy the beauty of the work as much as respect the care and craftpersonship undertaken to create these works of art.
500 Baskets is a beautiful book with potential for the artist, the designer, the interior or exterior designer, or anyone who appreciates being amazed at well made works of art. The basket is pushed far from its realm as craft and becomes works of sculpture."
