Artist: Summer Wheat

Using an inventive process of pushing paint through aluminum mesh, Summer Wheat’s large-scale paintings resemble medieval tapestries showing female figures as hunters, fishers, and beekeepers. These women rewrite historical imagery through themes such as labor, discovery, and expressions of joy where traditionally only men were present. Beginning with drawings referencing inspiration from a broad spectrum of art historical references.
