Addie Roanhorse is an Osage artist and graphic designer. She designed a blanket for Gnew, a Portland-based clothing and accessoris brand. Today she discusses that work. Her family is artists, she brings examples of blankets she has made by traditionally embroidering ribbon applique. She negotiated on behalf of the tribe with the producer and director of a new film Killers of the Flower Moon filmed on Osage land.
Marie Watt's neon piece, Chords to Other Chords (Relative), in a show curated by Converge 45, closes tomorrow. It has been acquired, so maybe we will see it again. Hopefully it will be open and powered this evening.
