Although her coiled vessels and distinc - tive baskets may resemble art forms found in diverse archaeological and cultural con - texts, such as those of Southwestern Native Americans, the similarity ends there. In lieu of earthen clay or river reeds and grasses, Keeling chooses modern fibers such as jute and sisal cording as well as variegated knitting yarns of cotton, wool or silk. Forming pieces that are more decorative than utilitarian, the artist emphasized, “I believe that grace and beauty have great value. I want my designs to bring a meas - ure of contemplative stillness into our (sometimes hectic) cultural plane She noted that the scale of the majority of her creations is intentionally intimate and that their tactile nature invites her viewers to touch and interact with the pieces, to experience them with more than their eyes.
