Joe Feddersen
works on paper | woven baskets
“Joe Feddersen is a multi-media artist whose practice engages a variety of craft media and often uses one process to mimic another. His blown glass surface textures imitate the other materials-led processes of basket-weaving and metalsmithing and incorporate contemporary ‘urban vernacular’ imagery in response to the world around him. His basket-weaving practice marries traditional technique with cleverly deployed contemporary imagery, juxtaposing the past and present as well as Feddersen’s Arrow Lakes/Okanagan lineage with contemporary American culture. Works by the artist are included in the permanent collections of Forge Project, Hadley NY, the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC, and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.” -- Meaghan Roddy
