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.
