Tissue Becomes Art in Freelon Asante Exhibit
Water-stained tissue paper, discovered in her grandmother’s basement, did not look like ruin to Maya Freelon Asante.
Rather, the Baltimore-based artist and Durham native foresaw what beautiful stains she could create by exposing tissue paper to water.
The public can see the results of Freelon Asante’s discovery in her solo exhibit “FREE,” Jan. 29 through March 27 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Sonja Haynes Stone Center for Black Culture and History.
The artist will attend a free public opening reception for the exhibit at 7 p.m. Jan. 29 at the center, located just west of the Morehead-Patterson Bell Tower off South Road.
