Ebony G. Patterson is known for her impressive dexterity with ornamentation. Her maximalist use of decorative elements is never gratuitous. Instead, they contribute to her ongoing exploration of Afro-Caribbean visual identities and symbols, and of the region’s turbulent history. Patterson will be presented together with Maia Cruz Palileo in the Nova sector at Art Basel Miami Beach by @MoniqueMeloche Gallery.
