These three vessel forms are made from New Zealand Flax (Phormium tenax) and Bottle Gourds . Each vessel has been constructed using a natural gourd top that has been secured by a multi-directional weave made from flax. Internal Energy 1, 2 & 3 are from the "Nature Constructs" exhibition by Lane Hawkins which was held in October of 2009 at the Whakatane Museum and Gallery.
