Big Wave

2001
Yamaguchi Ryūun (Japanese, born 1940)
Rooted in the tradition of Japanese basket making and looking to nature as a primary source of inspiration, Yamaguchi Ryuun incorporates the flow of water into the patterns in his work. Big Wave depicts a giant sea swell, rising, surging, and cresting before the point of collapse.
