Coil Basketry (Detail)

By  Danny Manning 2022
A coil basketry piece of jewelry (detail) made entirely from salvaged materials found along the A27 and various South Down walks gathered during Lockdown. These pieces have been partly influenced by research into the trash couture of 'gender-queer' performance artist Stephen Varble from the 1970's.
