A Stone and Rattan Sculpture by Seattle-area Artist Deloss WebberThe artist views his treatment of the stones as an expression of reverence for nature. He takes into consideration the individual qualities of each stone, its contours, color, and size, and melds them with his own design of wrapped and woven fibers. He unites the organic with the inorganic creating a new form. Del Webber not only makes his livelihood from fiber arts but also has been exposed to and influenced by numerous ethnic forms of weaving since an early age. Del derives his knotting techniques from traditional Japanese and Native American basketry, wicker furniture, loom weaving, fly-tying, and nautical knotting. Each stone is selected and wrapped with a unique design made of various materials including bamboo, cane, rattan, and reed.Value: $ 1,400 Donor: Deloss Webber
