POLLY ADAMS SUTTON

In order to create her sculptural baskets, Sutton uses western cedar bark because of its manipulative qualities. She allows the natural curve of each piece of bark help determine the form of a completed piece.  Sutton works intuitively, relying on her background in sculpture and painting to give rise to the unlimited potential of basketry. “I am satisfied when the cedar has taken on a new shape, yet recalls the serenity of the forest.
