From Novembre, 2015 to the beginning of April, 2016, MAD New York will host Ebony G. Patterson’s work. The artist, who lives between Jamaica and Kentucky, is known for creating installations using highly decorated tapestries and rugs, casually mixing in ethnic codes and the latest trends. Ebony personally makes the elaborate fabrics, stich by stich, exhibiting a particular artisan ability. She is both a talented embroiderer and uninhibited director of her installations, which include mannequins dressed in an un-apologizing mix of western-style clothing in various traditional patterns from around the world, hoisted up on podiums covered in floral fabric. The crocheted rugs have various accessories, including shoes and bags, almost as if to reaffirm their domestic purpose. Their floral arabesques and sparkling beads show how no pairing is impossible when one has the courage to exaggerate with executive expertise.
