Details
Diedrick Brackens: gather tender night is the artist’s first solo exhibition in the Bay Area.
Organized by guest curator Eungie Joo, the exhibition features fifteen tapestries created since 2020, including three new works that consider tenderness, migration, and connections with the natural world.
Executed on the loom in hand-dyed, cotton fiber and acrylic yarn, Brackens’s works convey a masterful and meditative process of physical discovery and storytelling. Throughout the exhibition, single and paired figures exist in resplendent depictions of water, flora, and fauna, launching the viewer’s imagination. For Brackens, the outdoors is an important space where queer folks can be themselves and participate in spaces of desire and sensuality freely.
The exhibition will be accompanied by public programs and community gatherings throughout its run.
