Tyler Macko, Observable Basket, 2021
Wood,found objects, oil and acrylic
49 × 43 × 3 inches

“Observable Basket” delves into the enigma surrounding diverse global cultures, portraying individuals holding peculiar bags or buckets—symbols recurrent in origin stories. Intrigued by mound-building cultures, particularly those constructing colossal earthen mounds with baskets, the artist employs the basket as a metaphorical omega point—a source from which everything originates. Through this symbolism, the piece explores the notion that a single basket of dirt may seem inconsequential, yet when stacked in abundance, it transforms into a creation that evokes sentiments of belief and wonder, echoing the power of collective accumulation.
