Jeremy Frey: Woven, by Jaime de Simone, Ramey Mize, Theresa Secord, Dakota Hoska, and Andrew James Hamilton

As an award-winning Indigenous basket maker, Jeremy Frey is renowned for his exceptional craftsmanship, and at last, there is a book available for the masses that celebrates his impressive work. In fact, Jeremy Frey: Woven is the only catalog of its kind, and it was compiled to accompany Frey’s first major traveling exhibition. Celebrated for his detailed designs and artistry, Frey hails from an extensive line of basket makers, and his pieces reflect traditional techniques that seamlessly blend with his unique creative vision. Within this collection, each author focuses on a range of viewpoints about Frey’s oeuvre. For example, de Simone covers his work within the sphere of contemporary art and highlights Frey’s new video work, while Secord provides an in-depth biographical essay about the artist himself.
