| 'Greater Anglia the Hare' - Willow artist -Anita (Toot) Roberts - Summer 2026. |
On a cast concrete pillow
Bent and twisted willow
Opus caementicium
Willow (Salix viminalis)
Hare (Lepus europaeus)
Hare stares at us with amber eyes
Shining glass bright at sunrise
Twisting 'willow'
' will - lilo - wow'
Vegetable manipulated
To create Animal
A miraculous transform in part
Occasioned by serendipity, craft and art
'Toot' tied rod to osier
Under and over, over and under.
Intertwining willow warp and weft
The weaver's touch both light and deft
Hare held in place by a matrix of crafted copper wire
Fabulous and fantastic with flame fused eyes of fire.
'Greater Anglia - Garden Hare'
