If you’ve ever worked with wire, you know how easy it is to over bend a piece or put a crick in it. It takes a lot of practice and patience to keep wire work smooth and straight \u00a0Now imagine weaving entire vessels with it. This is what Marilyn Moore<\/a> does with impeccable skill.<\/p>\n

Although weaving techniques are traditionally created using fibrous materials, wire has had its time in this area but I don’t know that I’ve seen quite the detail and variation you’ll find in Marilyn’s work.\u00a0Metal weaving lends itself to jewelry, sculpture, and wall pieces as well as decorative arts. The structure and durability give\u00a0it a great advantage to traditional weaving materials. Although it is difficult to closely duplicate weaving techniques in polymer, \u00a0our material also offers additional structural qualities along with the ability to take on all types of textures. The woven, linear textures that you see here in Marilyn’s vessels entitled “Torch” would look lovely in polymer as would the fiery colors.<\/p>\n
