Russo Lee Gallery is pleased to present It Cut a Sky by Lisa Jarrett. This exhibition is a continuation of the artist’s ongoing series Migration Studies. Featuring new print editions from her time at Crow’s Shadow, as well as mixed media pieces, Jarrett states that, “this body of work connects my interest in tracing lost histories and homelands to the Beauty Supply store as a critical space of Black cultural production with its own set of aesthetics, desires, and complications.”
Opening Reception | Thursday, November 2nd, 5:00-7:00 p.m.
Artist Talk | Saturday, November 11th, 11:00 a.m.
