400

Fiber artist Hisako Sekijima is a self-described basket maker who studied with renowned basket maker John McQueen. Sekijima purposefully challenges the idea of what a basket can be, as exemplified by 400. She states: “I define a basket as an object, often a vessel shape, created in a textile structure where the dynamics of each component are visible. My expanded definition includes anything implying a relationship to basketry in its technical, aesthetic or functional terms.”
