Alexandra Ferdinande was first introduced to wild basketry when she moved to the countryside. Fascinated by craftsmanship, this "art of weaving nature" – closely linked to her surroundings – was an instant revelation to her. The very next day, she was ready to learn the craft. Trained in wild and traditional French basketry, Alexandra enjoys exploring the technical and artistic potential of weaving. She works mainly with wicker, which she transforms in luminaries, baskets or sculptures. Magnifying the raw material is what she loves about wickerwork, the slow process of the natural elements evolving into a contemporary object. Through the natural colour range, the interplay of techniques and movement, she gives each creation a unique character.
