Vanessa Dion Fletcher: Relative Gradient – Opening Reception

Friday, August 25, 2023 | 7:00 – 9:00 PM

Free Admission

Vanessa Dion Fletcher is a Lenape and Potawatomi neurodiverse artist; her family is from Eelūnaapèewii Lahkèewiitt (displaced from Lenapehoking) and European settlers. Relative Gradient includes recent works that expand the possibilities of contemporary quillwork. She transforms this surface embroidery technique into textile design and vinyl imagery, playing with geometric shapes and repeating patterns. Taken together, these works build on Vanessa’s continued exploration of what it means to live in an Indigenous, gendered body with a neurodiverse mind.

Remarks will begin at 7:30 PM. Light refreshments. All are welcome!
