Indelible ORIGINS | Place + People: Why WE Are Here – Artist Talk
@ The GREYSTONE Collective
4733 S Forrestville Ave, Chicago, IL 60615
Opening Sunday, September 1st, from 1PM - 3:30PM
On view through Friday, September 13th
Join The GREYSTONE Collective for a Creative Conversation with Artist Aidan Anne Frierson, presented as part of the Indelible ORIGINS | Place + People series.
Frierson is a South Side Chicago community member primarily practicing handmade papermaking and hand poke tattooing, approaching both as forms of citation and care. Frierson explores the physical and social practice of indelible mark-making on impermanent vessels. Through hand poke tattooing, They investigate a working timeline of experiences relevant to memory and nature using black, grey, and white ink in collaboration with people. Handmade papermaking serves as a vessel for Frierson to physically process what is lived and what is felt as we are interconnected by the stories of our lives and the places we’ve experienced. They examine interconnection by engaging with color, texture, size, and pattern and by associations with people, places, and experiences.
