How do artists create nested rattan forms that unfold seasonally in gardens?
Artists create nested rattan forms that unfold seasonally in gardens by combining traditional weaving techniques with innovative design. Using flexible rattan vines, they craft layered structures that expand or contract with changing weather. The process involves soaking rattan for pliability, hand-weaving intricate patterns, and incorporating natural elements like vines or flowers. These sculptures often respond to environmental shifts—blooming in spring, providing shade in summer, and retracting in winter. By integrating organic materials and seasonal rhythms, artists transform gardens into living art spaces that evolve throughout the year.
