Migrations (Through March 25th)
March 25, 2023 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
An event every week that begins at 1:00 pm on Saturday, repeating until March 25, 2023
“I will be displaying my solo exhibition, Migrations, at King Manor Museum using two period rooms (bedroom, parlor and adjacent hallway). I will be using the themes of roses and weaving. These works will communicate visually and metaphorically within the existing historical narrative. Through the medium of visual contemporary art I will be communicating with the American Spirit of the 1700’s across the centuries to the present time 2022, a similarly charged political climate where human freedoms -and who has them- are being challenged.
Roses, symbolic throughout time widely used in the Victorian age, will speak volumes in the parlor room – of love and passion for human dignity, freedom, and the anti-slavery policies of Rufus King.
Works that are more explicitly created through techniques of weaving -metaphors of life and time -will be installed in the hallway and bedroom – the place where dreams can be birthed, and also laid to rest. On a cosmic scale, weaving can represent the fabric that unites and binds the visible, and the invisible – where ideas are born.”
-Rosa Valado
