Join us at SHACK15 for the second of seven inaugural SHACK15 Artist Fellow activations with artist Terri Friedman. Friedman weaves urgent tapestries where painted piping meets hemp cords and stained glass fragments embed themselves in naturally dyed wool. The San Francisco Bay Area artist transforms the meditative rhythm of the loom into compositions that thread words like "heal," "alive," and "refresh" through acid yellows and hot pinks that camouflage meaning while activating the brain's chemistry. Her work is a response to the world around her. But instead of indulging in despair, she asks 'What can go right'.
