Water Meadows: Yanira Vissepó
June 5, 2025 - August 30, 2025
Yanira Vissepó’s textile paintings are centered around gradient linocuts of native plants and the natural terrain of both her birthplace in the Caribbean Sea and her adopted home in the American South. She uses methods such as stain painting, linoleum cut-outs, and hand embroidery on canvas to portray the rich biodiversity and resilience of botanicals endemic to both Puerto Rico and Tennessee. Through these techniques, she examined the connectivity of plants across these regions, merging flora native to both lands while researching their holistic properties. In doing so, she weaves her own healing process into the diasporic experience.
An opening reception will be held on Thursday, June 5, 2025, from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM.
Join Vissepó on Saturday, June 7, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM and learn how to make your own indigo-dyed shibori fabrics. Each participant will leave with two hand-dyed bandanas. All supplies are provided. Advance registration for $20 is required.
