The Kine is an extra-large floor basket hand-coiled coil by coil from Ndiorokh grass and white recycled plastic strips. Its scale is deliberate—a form built to occupy space with authority. The basket closes with a lid in two expressions: the Peak Lid, which rises to a point, and the Flat Lid, which rests. The same coiling. Two different presences. What distinguishes the Kine is its motif—triangular shapes hand-coiled in red, teal, yellow, purple, and blue, worked directly into the body of the basket. Not applied after. Not printed. Coiled in, coil by coil, by the hands that built the form. This is the craft made fully visible. The Kine is named for Kine—Tackussanu Senegal's first maker and longest collaborator. The basket carries her name because it carries her hand.
