We lived on a rocky farm, with lots of sheet and submerged granite, making it hard to dig post holes to build and strain fences. Pop and Dad used rabbit netting, wire and ringlock filled with rocks, to make gabion type strainer posts for the fences. These strainers are still standing today on our old farm.
This practicality is something that is prevalent in my art practice – Like my grandparents and my parents, using what is close by around me, whether in the junkheap or the farm supplies shop. These baskets are made with the fence wire from our farm. This is step 4 in making a strainer post.
