The museum says:
“Jeremy Frey is a seventh-generation basket maker who is one of the most celebrated Indigenous weavers in the country. His work is meticulously detailed and pushes the boundaries of what is possible in his medium. "I try to create a newer and more elaborate version of my work each time I weave," he said.
