See Twisted Path II before it's gone!
/
By Hannah Whalen, Director of Development
Twisted Path II, which opened in October 2011, will close at the end of the day Saturday, April 14, 2012. Five Wabanaki artists succeeded in pushing the boundaries of what is thought of as traditional methods and materials and by adding their own twist to these pieces, these artists made their audience think "out of the box."

George Neptune had us believing that a basket of woven ash
and sweetgrass was a chocolate wedding cake. Rhonda Besaw captured her dream in
the delicate beadwork sewn onto a purple velvet purse. Leon Sockbeson brought his high-fashion
drawings to life in silk and wool, beaded with traditional double curves; Sarah
Sockbeson’s tightly woven ash and sweetgrass baskets with delicately hand-painted
lids and vibrant colors were very popular and Max Romero’s powerful plaster
installation, Assimilation Revisited,
inspired, upset and delighted guests. We can’t wait for Twisted Path III!
