From Strand to Sculpture: Contemporary Japanese Basketry
The Gamble House presents, “From Strand to Sculpture: Contemporary Japanese Basketry,” an exhibition of bamboo art crafted by highly skilled and specialized Japanese artists, featuring pieces on loan from the collections of Carl and Marilynn Thoma and the Thoma Foundation in Dallas, Texas. Delight in the mastery of the art form on display and the variety of works, from precise and contained vessels to dramatic sculptural forms that show the expressive power of bamboo. All have been chosen with the theme of the elements, echoing the importance of nature as a theme in the design of the Gambles’ home.
The Gamble House and the art form of Japanese bamboo basketry share common themes: both represent a compelling intersection of art and craft, and of function and sculpture. In contrast to a conventional gallery setting, the Gamble House will provide an intriguing environment for the display of works of bamboo art with the richness of its wood surfaces, enveloping spaces, and gently glowing light.
View the exhibition with a reservation of a guided tour. Tour times vary; please check tour availability below.
