This fascinating, highly personal look inside the research-based practice of Surinamese-Dutch artist Remy Jungerman traces how the patterns and shapes seen in 20th-century Maroon shoulder capes from Suriname as well as the quilts of Gee’s Bend, Alabama, have influenced his recent body of work. A journey through time, memory, and culture, ‘Tracing the Lines’ also tells the larger story of how geometric and patchwork patterns from West Africa made their way across the ocean to the Americas during the transatlantic slave trade. The book includes essays by Allison K. Young, Tammi Lawson, Sally and Richard Price, and the artist himself.
