Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Kelly Church

I harvest and process black ash trees, Sweetgrass, white cedar bark and basswood to weave baskets in sculptural forms such as top hats, eggs, berries and use metals on some for embellishments. I gather and process my own fibers from the woods and forests of Michigan. Each vessel tells a story about sustainable practices to look out for future generations or an experience or story from my life today.
