LAST DOWRY: VADIS TURNER

 

MAIN GALLERY:


Enamored with the legacy of handmade objects that mature from heirlooms to artifacts, Vadis Turner explores history, self, family, and culture in the fabrics and handmade objects she collects, manipulates, and creates. She explains, "I am developing a collection of contemporary hierlooms that will ultimately compose my Dowry. The works re-imagine conventional handicrafts, rites of passage and gender roles to represent the values of my generation. Traditionally exchanged for societal advancement through marriage, my Dowry will be sold or traded for professional gain."

With an MFA from Boston University, Vadis has exhibited widely in NY, TN and Czech Republic where she has participated in artist residencies as well as in group shows both nationally and internationally.
