Born in Ketchikan, Alaska, Telford learned basketry weaving from her aunt, prolific Haida artist, Ilskyaalas (Delores Churchill). Woven in a crossed warp twining style, this basket has a standard plain cylindrical shape and is decorated with five horizontal bands of dyed red and blue cedar woven in a classic Tlingit “strawberry” pattern. The alternating slip stitches of undyed cedar wefts over slanting warps gives this basket a uniquely interesting texture and appeal. The rim is finished with a singular row of three strands twining for a clean edge.
