Double Arrows—invoking the dynamic image of a line with arrow points at both ends—is Elizabeth James-Perry’s visually evocative concept of acknowledging our shared space and human interdependencies with the natural world. This exhibition of James-Perry’s work, presented in the Grossman Gallery at SMFA at Tufts, will include textured weavings in subtle colors and unique jewelry incorporating local sustainable plant materials, as well as contributions from an expanded community of artists, including Tanya Crane, Erin Genia, Jonathan James-Perry, and Patricia James-Perry. Additionally, a newly commissioned public-art billboard, installed on the exterior of the SMFA at Tufts Fenway building, will feature James-Perry’s painted imagery celebrating Wampanoag coastal identity through the depiction of Indigenous life and the ongoing importance of wampum and Native family.
