Destiny Palmer
Hamden/Boston, MA destinypalmer.com
Destiny is both an artist and an educator. Her work is interdisciplinary, incorporating hand sewn fabric assemblages and colorful paintings. She is deeply interested in unveiling the histories underlying craft, labor and tradition, in particular those rooted in African American legacies.
Destiny created a grid of paintings on panel for Heirloom Flats. The work is bold, abstract and geometric overlaid with patterns that evoke furrows, textiles and plant forms. The colors are carefully selected to play off the interior design palette of the amenity space, at the same time evoking a larger imaginary landscape.
