Rock Paper Scissors: Supporting - Tony Cragg at Houghton Hall, Norfolk

MAKER / BASKET WEAVER

Sue makes traditional and contemporary baskets made using willow grown in King’s Cliffe near her home in Cambridgeshire. She uses several varieties of willow that have been growing for a minimum of15 years. The hazel used is also locally sourced from coppiced woodland. “I love the qualities of the willow; it’s colour, strengths and texture. I also make large-scale outdoor sculpture that has a steel frame and a willow ‘skin’” She is influenced by heavy, solid forms, such as natural rock formations, and love the fluidity and movement which willow gives to the sculpture.
