From: Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary ArtAnne Samat: Love
Opens Saturday, June 24
In her solo Kidspace exhibition, Anne Samat adorns traditional Southeast Asian Pua Kumbu weavings with humble household goods from 99-cent stores and thrift shops to construct totemic figurative sculptures. Samat’s work is dedicated to the feeling of love — found in personal relationships, in past generations that paved the way for her, and in potential feelings that could exist among strangers.
