On view at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art this summer is Carletta Carrington Wilson is Object Lessons. Poet/Fabric Artist/Bookmaker Carletta Carrington Wilson “uses fabric and found materials as portals to the past, linking personal and collective histories. Her work reclaims generational knowledge through image and text, navigating time, identity, and place. Each piece becomes a site of remembrance, where hand, memory, and material converge to create meaning… literary and visual works merge as poetry, artist books, installations and mixed-media collages mirror the melding of language and form in works described as “decorative with a message.”

The exhibit at BIMA is on display from July 3 to September 20 and Carletta will give a talk August 1, from 4 to 5:30pm.
