Brightly coloured and intricately patterned telephone wire baskets are fast gaining international recognition as a new and vibrant art form. The tradition of weaving coiled baskets, from strips of coloured telephone wire, originated in the urban areas of Kwazulu Natal and many of the bowls with their distinctive geometric patterns have become colectors items. This superb exhibition is a collaberation between well known French artist Herve Di Rosa and members of the Syanda Wire Weavers Collective who worked together to create some interesting adaptations to traditional basket weaving.
