Tapestry Foundation Australia donates Deidrick Bracken’s work to NGV

To enable its presence in the NGV Triennial the Foundation agreed to acquire Diedrick Bracken’s Marrow becomes breath, a woven hanging on the theme of slavery. Brackens (b.1989, Texas, USA), a young Black American, expresses himself thus ‘I think of the process of handweaving cotton as a small way to pay tribute to those who came before me and worked with the material under very different circumstances.’
