Fleming Jeffries’s 16-year journey as a printmaker has taken her from the Moscow Studio in Russia to the Rhode Island School of Design. The dominant subject of her art is the tension between the technological and natural worlds.
Whimsically riffing on human attempts to manipulate weather and the environment, she imagines cloud gardens and hinged rivers, embroidering even her titles — “Desertification,” “Bottle Bubble Bauble Berg,” “Evaporama” — with notes of satire. But there’s a cautionary tone that underscores the fairy-tale imagery.
