Woven baskets, were once an essential and necessary item for collecting and storage of food. Many cultures developed baskets beyond the utilitarian, creating works of great artistic and technical achievement. I like the form of the basket. In my print I've developed this form using the techniques of relief printing. I decided to use the embroidery threads to emphasis the physical and relief nature of a basket , to take it beyond a 'picture' and its surface towards the three dimensions of an object, in a sense, drawing with thread.
