content: A glazed stoneware and porcelain ceramic sculpture created by Anina Major. The work uses various styles of weaving to form a sculptural basket that has partially collapsed and is resting on its side. The mouth of the basket is formed from flat and wide sections of clay woven together. In the middle sections the weave uses cylindrical strands of clay and appears more three-dimensional. At the bottom, the unwoven, cylindrical "ribs" of the basket form the base. It is in this section that the form of the basket appears to have collapsed, and portions of the woven clay are separated. Multiple glazes were applied in layers, creating a complex and changing surface color ranging from white to tan to a deep brown. Sand is visible on the ceramic surface of the middle section and the base.
