Andromeda Nelson - Art of Andromeda

Born in the prairies and based on the West Coast of Canada, mixed-media artist Andromeda Nelson is known for her powerful, bold and colourful works that are often as profound as they are playful. Working with all natural fibres and plants, Andromeda produces all the dyes for her handmade baskets and clutches herself. Eucalyptus, cabbage, avocado and black beans are just some of the plants she uses. All dye baths are produced in small quantities and a guaranteed outcome is never assured, so each batch of dyed rope will inevitably be different. Every basket is a one-of-a-kind piece.
