NUMBERS/PATHWAYS/GRIDS Howardena Pindell

In May of 2021, Garth Greenan had the vision to bring together Howardena Pindell and Dieu Donné to collaborate on a large body of works in handmade paper. Working closely with Master Collaborators Amy Jacobs and Tatiana Ginsberg, Pindell used stenciling and embedding on handmade paper made from abaca and cotton pulp. They experimented with varying sizes, colors, and materials, combining newly punched and printed paper dots with hand-written ones pulled from Pindell’s archive. The newly realized body of work, centered around the concept of the grid, acts as a natural extension of Pindell’s artistic practice into the medium of handmade paper. Howardena Pindell: Numbers/Pathways/Grids documents the works on paper produced as part of the first year of this unprecedented collaboration. Includes a foreword by Gilles Heno-Coe and an essay by Re'al Christian.
