Ree Nancarrow will give a talk about her exhibition at the Alaska State Museum, ??????? ??? ????? ? ????. The lecture will be in the APK Lecture Hall at noon on Saturday, December 7. ??????? ??? ????? ? ???? is a new solo exhibition featuring quilt works by Fairbanks art quilter Ree Nancarrow. It opens at the Alaska State Museum on Friday, December 6.
For 50 years, Nancarrow watched a small tundra pond outside her window called Deneki Lakes. She tracked the shifting habitat at the lake as the water level dropped over time. Fewer species live there now.
In 2010, Nancarrow started working with scientists through a program called In a Time of Change, which supports collaboration across the environmental arts, humanities, and sciences in Alaska. She explains how this collaboration informed her work: “The knowledge and deeper understanding of the natural world gained from working with these scientists has changed how I see the world, and how I describe it visually. That knowledge and concern for the world I live in led me to tell stories of climate change such as wildland fire, permafrost melt, development of greenhouse gases, bark beetle infestations, and creation of methane bubbles.”
She makes her quilts with custom-printed fabric. The fabric features images and designs she has collected and created over her art career. She sews them together and quilts each piece with intricate designs, enhancing their rich imagery and detail.
??????? ??? ????? ? ???? opens Friday, December 6, 4:30 – 7:00 pm. Ree will give a talk about her work on Saturday, December 7 at noon in the APK Lecture Hall. Both events are free.
The exhibit runs through March 15, 2025.
