18th April - 31st May 2008

The sculptural organic forms created by basketmaker Lise Bech are testimony to the natural versatility of her materials and the intricacies of her craft. Her home-grown willow is nurtured from 'bud to basket' to create this series of works inspired by the architecture of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's The Hill House.
