Diedrick Brackens

Los Angeles-based Diedrick Brackens makes weavings that incorporate techniques drawn from European tapestries, West African weavings, and Southern quilts. Brackens has worked through political protest and personal pain in creating compositions that incorporate joy, pleasure, and imagination.


He has had solo exhibitions at Johansson Projects in Oakland, Conduit Gallery in Dallas, and Pacific Sky Gallery in Eugene. His works have been included in group exhibitions at Berkeley Art Museum, SOMArts in San Francisco, and Work Gallery at University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, among others.
