The process begins with Jeremy Frey trekking through the woods of Central Maine to hand-harvest ash trees. From there, he spends days stripping bark, pounding tree trunks to separate their growth rings, and cutting layers of wood into flexible strips. These materials then undergo weeks of careful weaving in Frey’s studio, where he refines each piece to perfection before it is ready for exhibition or sale.
Despite the slow, deliberate nature of his work, Frey’s career has recently gained significant momentum. Over the past 18 months, he has achieved several career milestones. These include his first solo museum exhibition, a debut gallery show in New York, and a presentation at Art Basel Miami Beach.
