About the Artwork

Designed to resemble a bird in flight, Wings Like a Crane is part of a series of baskets in which artist Dona Anderson explores linear forms and the natural curve of her materials. It is constructed from raffia-wrapped reeds, designed to leave the ends exposed for a dynamic contrast in material and color.

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Tahoma School District.
