Summer Wheat: Forager

Discover the vibrant world of Summer Wheat with "Summer Wheat: Forager", a captivating monograph that delves into the artist's whimsical and richly hued tableaux.

This book celebrates Wheat's imaginative works that reimagine tribes of women as hunters, collaborators, and celebrators, challenging millennia of male-dominated imagery.

Raised in Oklahoma, Wheat's artistic journey was influenced by the rich textures of Native American weavings and the colorful aesthetics of Lisa Frank Trapper Keepers.

Her art bridges these early influences with Western art traditions and modern popular culture, from ancient sculpture to music videos.

Curator Jen Sudul Edwards provides a comprehensive analysis of Wheat's expansive practice, which includes painting, sculpture, and large-scale installations.

Anne Ellegood's conversation with Wheat explores her transition from painting to creating freestanding architectural spaces.

Jennifer Krasinski examines Wheat's unique approach, likening her large panels to intricate beadwork and digital pixel art.

Featuring insights from artist Diedrick Brackens on the lines that define spaces between art and craft, this book offers a profound look at Wheat's work.

"Forager" is an essential addition for art enthusiasts seeking to explore the innovative and dynamic creations of Summer Wheat.
