“Catriona Pollard will present several woven masterpieces, utilising foraged vines and other materials. Catriona adopts two main basketry techniques in her practice – random weaving and looping: ‘Her unique sculptural work offers glimpses of shapeshifting natural forms, from unnoticed branches, leaves and vines into stunning works that celebrate the abundance of nature. She uses foraged and discarded plant material with traditional basketry techniques.’”
