Artist Talk with Roxie Fricton
About Artist Talk with Roxie Fricton
Join us for an artist talk with Atlanta-based textile artist Roxie Fricton as she shares insights from her project To Speak in Pattern. In this work, Fricton explores weaving as a form of non-verbal storytelling—an embodied language passed between women across generations through pattern and thread. Drawing from Appalachian overshot and coverlet traditions, she works with historical weaving drafts to uncover the often-erased creative authorship of women’s labor. By collecting, decoding, and reinterpreting these unsigned patterns, Fricton uses the loom as a site of connection across time, creating works that both honor inherited forms and introduce her own voice. She will discuss her research process, her approach to pattern manipulation, and the deeply personal ways weaving allows her to process memory, emotion, and presence beyond words.
