Description

Pair of Pat Jeffers Art Baskets – Mesilla Valley Weavers, 2009 Exhibited

Pair of contemporary handwoven art baskets by Colorado basket artist Pat Jeffers, both exhibited in 2009 shows in Las Cruces, New Mexico — Fiber Fest at the Branigan Cultural Center and the Unsettled Gallery & Studio exhibition. These sculptural forms highlight Jeffers’ dynamic approach to traditional basketry, blending natural and dyed reed in bold, rhythmic patterns.

The larger piece features warm natural tones with a flared hourglass profile and decorative wooden beads around the base, while the companion vessel incorporates layered bands of rust, indigo, ochre, and plum, creating a striking interplay of color and form. Each reflects Jeffers’ mastery of balance, movement, and texture within three-dimensional fiber art.

Perfect as statement art pieces or for collectors of contemporary Southwest basketry.


Condition

In very good condition overall, with tight, even weaving and only minimal surface irregularities typical of handwoven natural materials. No breaks or losses noted. Both baskets retain their original form and finish, with vibrant coloration.
