Cristin Tierney Gallery is pleased to announce milk and honey, a solo exhibition of new and recent work by Sara Siestreem (Hanis Coos). This is Siestreem’s first solo exhibition in New York and with the gallery, and it will run concurrently with a presentation of her work at The Armory Show. milk and honey opens the evening of Friday, September 6th, with a reception from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. The artist will be present.
Siestreem is an Oregon-based multidisciplinary artist and member of the Confederated Tribes of the Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Indians. Her work combines the ceremonial traditions of her ancestors with contemporary modes and materials, sitting at the intersection of social and ecological justice, education, and Indigenous feminism. Her process is informed by observations of nature with a formal structure and improvisational practice.
