"A Voice that We Have Ignored: Works by Miyuki Akai Cook"
Dates: Monday, October 28 - Friday, December 13
Reception: Thursday, November 14 | Time: 2:30 PM
Textile artist Miyuki Akai Cook uses weaving, knitting, and crochet to explore themes of generational well-being and environmental awareness. A unique, illustrative pedagogy pairs earlier work alongside new imagery. The combinations are abstractly narrated by monster-like creatures called Yokai that both amaze and delight.
