‘Between structural and free-formed’

“Found and Woven,’’ by Eric Stark, at Boston Sculptors Gallery, through Aug. 16.

He says:

“I am an architect and educator by training and profession. Basketry is like architecture in that the viewer has first-hand experience with both a basket and a building. It is this familiarity with the art form that makes basketry (like architecture) approachable, and immediately creates the possibility of engaging the viewer with the work.

“Unlike architecture, basketry affords me singular and relative control of the creative process, from concept through final weaving. My investigation lies within this process of creation; a process that moves from the imagination to the physical, between the structural and free-formed, existing for both function and as art. With my hands I bend the spokes and weavers, attempting to realize what lies in my imagination. The process is simultaneously straightforward and yet limitless.’’
