White Bead Basket, 1992

Location: Woodward Middle School, Bainbridge Island
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
White Bead Basket is a sculptural basket woven by artist Dona Anderson using found glass beads to add texture and interest to the surface. Speaking about the experience of constructing an artwork, Anderson notes: "Craftsmen are problem solvers. I like that. I can choose my subject, materials, colors, size and end result. Materials have a mind of the own, and that leads to a different method of resolve. All that is part of the process."
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Bainbridge Island School District.
