Jeremy Frey: Woven

The Cantor is honored to be the final—and only west coast—venue for this acclaimed exhibition organized by the Portland Museum of Art in Maine. Seventh-generation basket weaver Jeremy Frey (b. 1978) often remarks that the exhibition was “thousands of years in the making.” Wabanaki baskets have existed for more than thirteen thousand years in what is today known as Maine. The tradition was under threat when Frey, who is Passamaquoddy (one of four federally recognized Wabanaki tribes), began making baskets out of ash and sweetgrass in the early 2000s, helping to revitalize the art form.
