Description

Elegant and expressive, Kimono Form 27 showcases the inventive artistry of Jackie Abrams, whose groundbreaking work expanded contemporary understandings of basketry and fiber art. Through her involvement with Weave A Real Peace, Jackie advocated for artisan communities worldwide and demonstrated how art and social justice can be deeply intertwined.

 

Throughout her career, Jackie collaborated with artisan communities in Ghana, Guatemala, and Costa Rica, helping develop sustainable craft initiatives and empowering women through basketry and textile work. Her contemporary vessels often combined painted and woven papers, stitching, netting, and surface embellishment to create architectural forms.
