Her third solo exhibition at moniquemeloche, Ebony G. Patterson debuts a new body of her signature hand-embellished tapestries that are part of the ongoing series Dead Treez.
Focusing on the body to impart the paradoxical relationship between Jamaica's traditional expectations of manhood and the flamboyant aesthetics of its dancehall culture, Patterson creates a window onto working-class Jamaican society.
