Contemporary Bronze Sculpture, 'Mother Basket' by Gudrun Thompson
About the Item
About 'Mother Basket' in Gudrun's words: We expect so much from our mothers, but often they are too tired and ill equipped to give us anywhere near the love we crave. Instead of being vessels that nurture and sustain us throughout our lives, they become unable to hold onto anything and any effort they do make drains out unappreciated.
Part of Gudrun Thompson’s Basket Series, this piece transforms delicate, natural materials into enduring cast bronze forms, crafted meticulously using the lost wax process. The basket invites a dialogue between fragility and permanence, echoing the mythological balance of thought and memory while celebrating the timeless beauty of bronze.
Gudrun Thompson is an American artist based in California whose work explores themes of mythology, archaeology, and history. Initially trained in fiber arts, Thompson has evolved her practice to include cast bronze sculpture, creating pieces that merge ancient narratives with modern materials. Her art reflects a deep fascination with the interplay of texture, form, and storytelling, bridging the tactile qualities of her fiber arts background with the enduring strength of bronze.
