Folded basket 1999

"Folded Basket" is a ceramic sculpture created in 1999 by Jan McKeachie-Johnston. The artwork depicts a ceramic basket folded over itself, with a red-brown glaze and a textured surface. The piece is a striking example of McKeachie-Johnston’s interest in exploring the relationship between form and function, with its simple yet elegant design. The sculpture is currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art. It is a piece of contemporary ceramics that explores the potential of clay as a medium for expressing both abstract and functional forms.
