James Watrous Gallery

In celebration of World Wide Knit in Public Day, join us at the James Watrous Gallery for an afternoon of knitting and a gallery talk with exhibiting artist, Alison Gates.

Accordion books.

This exhibition of artists’ accordion books reflects my personal and academic interest in the field of artists’ printed matter, especially artists’ periodicals.

Migratory Pattern, 2023, Paper (roadmap of the Continental US and land map of Canada interwoven) 13 x 18 inches

In my work, I ruminate quite a bit on the concept of change. The way words change, for instance, depending on context. The way land changes, depending on natural disasters, weather, and human impact.

Dakota Mace, as a Diné (Navajo) artist, focuses in her work on translating the language of Diné history and beliefs. She recently curated Reclaiming Identity, an exhibit of 25 Indigenous artists from across the U.S.

Drawing is a way of thinking. Like writing, drawing clarifies. It deepens our understanding.
