four strand square plait

shelagh atkinson

I gave Anna several of my etchings on paper and asked her if she would transform them, to an object of sculptural form, she produced the plait. Created by Anna S King in April 2021 She makes beautiful things. The reductive description of her as a 'fibre artist' does little justice to the richness of her work, which is built on a close relationship to the natural world, an instinctive practice of a wide range of craft skills, and an unerring eye for colour and design. https://www.appliedartsscotland.org.uk › members › annas-king ›
