Lunar

£650.00

One of one, large rush mobile crafted from British rush, grown in Somerset. The rush stems are harvested by the artist and handwoven to create the intricate shapes and cordage which make up this delicate piece. This mobile is inspired by the moon's cycle and the shapes move gently in the slightest breeze, bringing calm and beauty to any space. The artist is fascinated by the quiet power of the moon in relation to plant growth and harvest. The varying size shapes balance one another creating a sense of harmony.

MEASUREMENTS: 82cm total height 50cm diameter at widest point As no human is the same, neither are the rush stems and Ella chooses to respect each one, working symbiotically with the plant to craft each piece.

    Inspiration and Techniques

    Ella harvests her rush by hand in the rivers of Somerset, before drying it in her grandparents’ shed. She loves being able to follow the rush from river to finished product and believes that this gives her a greater respect for her material. Rush Basketry is an endangered craft with very few practitioners remaining.
