Bamboo

These sculptures by Nancy Moore Bess were woven from bamboo and dyed cane using an open hexagonal pattern, a traditional basketry weave especially prevalent in Japanese craft. Originally used in structures designed to hold rocks and stabilise riverbanks, this simple yet versatile pattern has also been adapted for domestic vessels, packaging and other everyday objects. The works celebrate the enduring utility and expressive potential of this weave.
