Description

By Jaime DeSimone, Ramey Mize, Theresa Secord who is Penobscot, Dakota Hoska who is Oglála Lakȟóta, and Andrew James Hamilton.

The only book on award-winning Indigenous basket maker Jeremy Frey, accompanying his first first major traveling exhibition.

Frey (Passamaquoddy) is one of the most respected Indigenous basket makers working today. Descended from a long line of basket makers, his work is known for its intricate design and exquisite artistry, which reflect both traditional techniques and his own creative vision.

This catalogue considers his work from a variety of perspectives. Secord, whom Frey credits for guiding his career as the founder of Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance, contributes a detailed biographical essay. DeSimone situates Frey’s work in the broader field of contemporary art, with a specific focus on the new video work he is making for the exhibition. Hoska focuses on Frey’s art in the broader context of Native basket and fiber arts. And Mize considers the ways in which his expanding practice registers ecological knowledge, time, and the impact of climate change. This book contains 100 colour illustrations.
