Collection Focus: Carol Eckert at RAM

It's exciting to see the magic and charm of Carol Eckert's animal sculptures created with the ancient basketry technique of coiling. Each of Eckert's pieces tells a story and is uniquely crafted into a piece of sculpture (perhaps a book, a staff, a basket or a wall relief).

This twenty page booklet is part of the Collection Focus Study-guide Series published by Racine Art Museum; it includes 17 color photos. Lena Vigna, Curator of Exhibitions for RAM gives us a glimpse into what inspires Eckert's "appealing and complex" creations. What a fun and compelling read!
