Peggy Thrasher Baskets

I make baskets using a triaxial weave (also known as Mad Weave). This weave uses three directions.

My baskets are made out of ribbon, but I'm working on some new materials, too.

The beginning of a hyperbolic plane! Think coral or kale. They aren't flat. I'm flying home from the Bridges Conference where art and math conme together. This corner has 7 points - regular madweave has 6, and the "standard" corner has 5. I met a mathematician from the UK, she will think about the math and I'll think about the art.

Black, white and gray is one of the more popular color combinations. Another really popular color is Confetti which is basically all of the colors. They kind of seem like opposites. Guess I should make more Confetti- looks like those are sold out!
