HOT WIRE EXTENSIONS
The Basket, 2025
White Marble Sand, Waste Nylon Powder, Copper, Nichrome Wire
35" H x 32" W x 29" D
"This basket merges ancient craftsmanship with contemporary innovation, combining traditional weaving techniques with recycling-conscious manufacturing. It incorporates Hot Wire Extensions, a method that repurposes waste nylon powder from SLS 3D printing and various sands. By heating them with a resistance wire, the materials merge and solidify into new forms. This process embraces sustainability while creating a piece that bridges cultural continuity with alternative production techniques."
