Terri Friedman, born in 1962 in Denver, Colorado, came to weaving late in her career, inspired by one of Joan Miró’s monumental sculptures. Having leapt from a practice of painting and making kinetic sculpture, her woven artworks are boldly colorful and deeply energetic. “I draw out the piece ahead of time with diagrams of textures/fibers/colors/warp design and graph it out,” she said in 2020. “Then I select all my fibers and begin. The pre-weaving process is lengthy.” But once she gets going, “I just lose track of time. The repetition kind of puts me in a trance state.” In fact, Friedman is interested in neural pathways, in weaving away anxiety and negativity. She has given pieces names like Serotonin, Endorphins, and Dopamine. This exhibition at Anthony Meier is Friedman’s first with the gallery and focuses on work from the last 10 years. —Laura Jacobs
