Artwork Description

Like many of John McQueen’s baskets, Untitled was woven around other pieces of wood used as forms. The rough-edged angularity of this piece evokes the aggressive plant from which the artist took his materials. McQueen further emphasizes this with areas of bristly and irregular plaiting.
