Copyright© Ellen LesperanceMore Information
Lesperance’s detailed works appear abstract but are in fact based on patterns that she sources from knit garments worn at women-led protests. Using a layered process called chine collé , this ten-color print was inspired by a sweater worn by an activist at the Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp—an anti-nuclear weapons encampment in Berkshire, England, active from 1981 to 2000. Lesperance produced this work during a residency at the Tamarind Institute in New Mexico with master printer Valpuri Remling.
Provenance(Tamarind Institute, Albuquerque, NM); purchased 2024 by Allen Memorial Art Museum, Oberlin, OH
