Emma Kathleen Hepburn Ferrer: The Unicorn, and Other Creatures of Hope
The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth’s CVPA Campus Gallery is proud to present Emma Kathleen Hepburn Ferrer: The Unicorn, and Other Creatures of Hope, the artist’s first institutional solo exhibition in the United States. In this new body of work, Ferrer turns her gaze to the unicorn — a creature whose mythology has traversed millennia, continents, and belief systems — as a vehicle for exploring ideas of liberty, captivity, purity, and transcendence. Drawing upon a decade-long fascination with The Unicorn Tapestries at The Met Cloisters, Ferrer reimagines the unicorn as a deeply spiritual being, a symbol both of sovereignty and sacrifice.
