Current Perspectives Presents: Rowland Ricketts

Rowland Ricketts utilizes natural dyes and historical processes to create contemporary textiles that span art and design. In this presentation, he’ll discuss his work growing, processing, and dyeing with indigo within the context of this dye’s materiality and global history. Special emphasis will be placed on recent works that make palpable the invisible aspects of the color’s creation as well as the invisible histories and forces that lie below the surface of this globally revered dye.
