Product Description
"More than half of the baskets documented will become historical relics once this generation of artisans has gone."
Determined to prevent the traditional weaving skills of her homeland being lost forever, Jennifer spent many years visiting the kampungs (villages) of Sabah, formerly North Borneo. During this time, she studied the lifestyles of the various communities, learning in the process the extent to which their handmade crafts reflect their everyday preoccupations and collective values. The amazing artistry that has been practiced in the kampungs for centuries is impressively captured in the illustrations by the author herself and anecdotes in the pages of this book.
Jennifer’s work in painstakingly documenting Malaysia’s material culture in The Kampung Legacy: A Journal of North Borneo’s Traditional Baskets is an essential reference guide for artisans, designers, academicians, artists and craft enthusiasts alike.
