Iron and Indigo
Iron and Indigo (2026)
Co-curated with Laini Nemett at Utopia Gallery in Kingston, NY, this exhibition features nine contemporary artists using natural pigments, dyes, and other land-based media — from corn cobs to cochineal ink. Leveraging their materials to evoke specific regions and histories, resist extractive industry, and grapple with the Anthropocene, these artists explore the possibilities of eco-conscious making and what lies beyond the art supply store.
