Lenna Keshishian, MFA Textiles, New York Meets Armenia

“New York Meets Armenia” brings together two distinct cultures that find confluence in these weaves, baskets, wall hangings, and lighting. The works combine tradition and modern technology, with references to Armenian culture and craft as well as modern-day New York City. The materials and methods with vastly different origins and connotations are used harmoniously to create hybrid pieces that represent dualistic identity.
