Gathering Vessels | 2025
$2,200
These sculptural baskets, titled Gathering Vessels, are intricately woven from salvaged copper and fine copper wire. Each vessel carries a unique handle crafted from seaweed foraged along my favourite beach or from weathered wood collected during my wanderings.
Evoking both strength and delicacy, the materials speak of nature?s resilience and the quiet beauty found in overlooked places. These vessels are not just objects; they are meditations on connection, memory, and the act of gathering from the land with reverence.

Catriona Pollard
I am a contemporary fibre artist transforming foraged plant materials and recycled metals into sculptural works exploring humanity’s connection with nature.
My sculptures feature intricate and complex weaving techniques that create repetitive patterns which explore the concept of connection and interconnection.
My practice has been recognised as a skilful exploration of ideas around nature and human’s relationship, the invisible forces and the movement of energy within it. Shadows cast by her work evoke themes of light, dark, and harmony.
