About FORT WORKS ART
This exhibition includes new mixed-media works that combine oil, collage, and embroidery on linen. Each piece, through layering and removal, holds together an uneasy balance between memory, erasure, and repair.
Dickerson’s process was developed in response to the writings of Martín Prechtel, particularly his exploration of grief within the Mayan Tzutujil tradition. Grief is a necessary ritual act that honors what has been lost by praising it through expression. Prechtel writes that in the Mayan language, to grieve is to praise, and to praise is to keep the dead alive in spirit.
