Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum-FIU
"Billie Zangewa: Field of Dreams
Field of Dreams is a solo exhibition featuring new and recent works by artist Billie Zangewa. Across her body of work, Zangewa creates intricate collages composed of hand-stitched fragments of raw silk. Her use of this material speaks to the transformative nature of the work itself. Silk, as the “leftovers” of the chrysalis process, is a material created through transformation; it’s what remains and is illustrative of Billie Zangewa’s creative process of metamorphosing life’s challenges and complex emotions into art. Both the artist and the material share the process of transformation.
Through Sunday, April 13
