PATRICIA SWEETOW GALLERY is pleased to present Lisa Jarrett from Portland, Oregon, and Jamele Wright Sr. from Atlanta, Georgia, in a two-person exhibition. Black migration suffuses the works of both artists, with personal and community histories at the core of their respective studio practices.
Painting with Georgia clay and acrylic on Dutch Wax cotton prints, Wright Sr. hand and machine sews abstract tapestries of Black Migration, as told through the lens of his family history. The small assemblage boxes packed with personal artifacts once treasured, now discarded, provide further evidence of an untold, unseen history.
Lisa Jarrett (she/her}works in social and visual forms. The works on view will be drawn from Jarrett’s series Migration Studies. “Migration Studies weave hair into paper to examine the role of hair care and beauty routines as protection within Black culture.”
