Inspired by native people of the far
north who historically used seal and walrus gut to make functional
items, such as clothing, bags and hats, Jill Nordfors Clark borrows
from that tradition to form sculptural non-traditional baskets.
She frequently uses elegant needle lace stitches in gut as the
connector between natural materials, like forsythia branches, to
create gentle uplifting forms. Her work is sheer and transparent
yet feels grounded and substantial through the use of supporting
twigs.
