Joe Feddersen: Urban Drama 

Combining Indigenous iconography and basketmaking traditions with contemporary scenery, Colville artist Joe Feddersen’s solo show brings a reverence for form within its larger social commentary. Pert linen sally bags — a centuries-old Plateau basket design for gathering roots — are the backbone of the show, adorned with woven linework subjects that reappear in an adjacent wall installation and framed prints. Imagery moves between decidedly modern and timeless, from box trucks to buffalo, coalescing into a sharp observation of the fixtures making up our urban surroundings. Feddersen is also offering a vision of change, as in “Protest Basket No. 2” (2025), which depicts a buzzing crowd of human-animal protestors with empty signs, leaving the viewer to fill in the blank.
