Baskets of Experience - Karla Sachse

female vessel

Khun Pikul Deelong-Ngam taught me to weave baskets out of old
newspapers on a farm in the jungle of Thailand. Declined news gains
growing information value. My hands give them the shape of organs.
They are interwoven with tales of bodily experiences of those people
who are directly involved or passing by. Their contribution is handwritten,
remains visible, but is not readable. Each basket is related to the place
where it is woven and where the newspapers come from.
