Just as joy and horror live alongside one another in daily life, Buckman brings together unexpected pairings. Portraits and flowers are stitched alongside introspective quotes and delicate embroidery adorns boxing gloves, as Zoë Buckman’s embroidered works deal with interpersonal violence against women and the necessity for joy as an antidote to trauma. Embroidery itself is a deceptively violent undertaking, only as the artist pokes the needle through fabric and ruptures the surface can prismatic designs emerge. These new works are especially colorful and detailed, indicating intensive and solitary labor that makes possible the sense of exuberant joy and femme solidarity which bursts forth to painterly results. @zoebuckman @forfreedoms Plan your visit today • parrishart.org/visit/timedadmission/ Image credit: Installation & detail view of Zoë Buckman, like home like something, 2022.
