Above & Beyond: Artworks by Sun Smith-Forêt

This massive exhibition will display a monumental textile plus more than 60 spectacular basketry works, 36 small paintings, and a large sculptural installation, Comma, Black.

Living in the St. Louis area, Smith-Forêt creates textural works with symbolic meanings. The exhibition will feature Riverwork, a panoramic textile that references human and water resources. In its entirety, the work is 300 feet of pliable sections of sewn, layered, hand-quilted, hand-stenciled, and painted cloth that incorporates the work of more than 70 artists. Designed to be displayed in its entirety or sections, in the Tribby the work will extend across 220 feet of wall space.
