Contemporary Baskets: Billie Ruth Sudduth, Emma Hughes & Cindy Kilgore
The beauty and intricacy of baskets by three Southern master craftspeople: Billy Ruth Sudduth, Emma Hughes, Cindy Kilgore.
Billie Ruth Suddeth is a self-taught basketmaker from North Carolina. Her baskets are made of reed splints, split oak, round reed, henna and iron oxide. They are inspired by Shaker and Appalachian baskets, as well as the Fibonacci sequence.
Emma Hughes is from Sulphur, La. Her traditional baskets are made from reed and natural fibers. Her color palette is subtle, adding a contemporary feel to her work.
Cindy Kilgore is from New Iberia, La. She learned the art of basketmaking from Mississippi artist Andrea Thompson. Kilgore uses needles from the long leaf pine and raffia palm as the basic raw materials for her pine needle baskets. Kilgore's baskets have a strong graphic quality enhanced by her use of color.
