Ellen Lesperance. Velvet Fist. 2014-2015. Courtesy of Adams and Ollman, Portland and Derek Eller Gallery, New York.
Based on the attire of women activists, warriors, and cultural figures, Ellen Lesperance creates gouache paintings rendered in the universal shorthand of knitting patterns. This exhibition features seven works from her ongoing Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp series. The works in the series are inspired by protest garments made and worn by separatist feminists while demonstrating against U.S. nuclear weapons storage in Berkshire, England, from 1981 to 2000.
Wednesday-Sunday: 10:00 am – 5:00 pm Monday & Tuesday: closed
