Billie Zangewa at Lehmann Maupin Gallery

Titled ‘Wings of Change’ rather than ‘winds,’ Billie Zangewa’s new body of work at Lehmann Maupin Gallery speaks to the importance of personal renewal and of hope in the face of difficult times.  Created by hand-stitching pieces of silk together on larger, fragmentary surfaces, perfection is not the goal.  Rather, each work acknowledges life’s messiness (all were made during the pandemic) and features Zangewa and her son continuing to build their life together at home.  (On view in Chelsea through Nov 3rd).
