"The first-ever major retrospective of a Wabanaki artist in a fine art museum in the United States, Jeremy Frey: Woven brings together current focus on fiber art and Indigenous artists (in Venice, Jefferey Gibson represents the U.S. and native Australian artist Archie Moore won La Biennale’s top prize, Golden Lion). The show features more than 50 baskets, made from natural materials like black ash, porcupine quills, and sweetgrass. Intricate and expressive, these works feature abstract patterns and representations of birds and animals. Frey’s practice is rooted in ancient tradition, with techniques passed from one generation to the next. A seventh-generation Passamaquoddy basket maker, Frey learned the techniques from his mother. The works on view range from traditional baskets to monumental vases, featuring meticulous porcupine quillwork." — ART NET
