RG01-24 (tripod)

Sweetgrass coiled with waxed linen thread and artificial sinew, attached to a found stone. 8.5" x 8.5" x 4"
Up on the Porch Roof, Portland, ME

This is my first piece of 2024!
A friend had said she saw tripods in my future, and this idea was born. I like the strong definition of the center and the contrast in the orange sinew and natural materials. However, the “legs” are not as secure as I’d like having a bit too much play in them.

Experiments:

  • Working with three longer stones

  • Wrapping each stone with sinew to start, weaving them separately, then attaching them to each other

  • Leaving openings in the base, forming triangles of a sort

Enjoy your day!!
