Basket Cases 2: Lockdown Series

By Danny Manning 2020
A series of works exploring basketry, mental health issues and the issues surrounding confinement and Lockdown. The calming effects of coil basketry using natural dyed wools act as therapeutic diversion during a period of anxiety and uncertainty. The works constantly change direction and are in a state of flux. Each work leads onto the next.
