Robilee Frederick - Terra Incognita

Reception: November 17, 2005, 5:30 - 7:30 PM
Artist Biography

Terra Incognita, the name on old maps given to unexplored areas, is an appropriate metaphor for Robilee Frederick's risk taking new work. Frederick's mind has always been curious, questioning, and willing to cut through veiled memories of the familiar to the hidden worlds within. Captivated by ancient carvings of spirals, circles, zigzags, and early labyrinths, Frederick uses these forms within her work to illumine her outer life.
