Jamaican-born artist Ebony G. Patterson works across tapestry, drawing, photography, and installation to create immersive environments centered on the familiar idea of the garden.Using a profusion of decorative and ornamental materials – often ordinary or discarded, she draws viewers in, encouraging them to look closely. Beneath this lush and colorful surface, Patterson reveals and confronts complex issues of race, class, gender, and post-colonial identity.
