Sasap (jellyfish) combines two traditional Mi’kmaw artforms: black ash splint basketry and porcupine quill art. The artist recently began incorporating basketry to quillwork. All material was sustainably harvested and processed by the artist. The porcupine quillwork is inspired by patterns in 19th century quilled chairbacks. The intricate geometric design reflects how Mi’kmaw seek balance in the world. Black ash is used to bind sweetgrass and to connect it to the basketry base, effectively bridging the two artforms. The piece evolved from the original design into Sasap, as the artist responded to the movement of the weaving process.
