Random Order Anishnaabe

Ojibway artist Dawn Walden creates baskets using traditional processes and materials but experiments with size to create large-scale work, some as tall as a person. Even for large baskets, like those in her Random Order series, the materials are gathered and processed by the artist. In this body of work, the baskets are double-layered with a traditional first layer of weaving covered by a second layer of seemingly random weaving inspired by a bird’s nest.
