Ray Anthony Barrett

Wilding Cran Gallery is pleased to present ...of frontiers and phantoms, an exhibition of quilts,
photographs, sculptures, and drawings by Ray Anthony Barrett that deepens his ongoing inquiry
into the poetics of the western landscape, the mythology of Manifest Destiny, and the interrelated
issues of power, capitalism, and white settler colonialism.
Expanding upon his investigation of the relationship between commerce and the American imperial
project, Barrett has constructed quilts with materials inextricably linked to the economic history of
the United States: calico, cotton, and denim. The near-monochrome works invoke color field painting
while vertical bands of fabric in contrasting hues reflect an engagement with syncopation, the sudden
interruption of expected patterning present in some African textiles and musical traditions.
