Artsy’s mission is to make all the art accessible to anyone with an Internet connection. They are a resource for art collecting and education.
Contact Mindy Solomon Gallery with any questions about the work, we would be happy to discuss purchase options.
To find forward momentum in my practice, I often look to the past. Basketry is one of the oldest crafts in human history, with the first known interlacements of plant fibers dating back 34,000 years, predating stone carving and pottery.
