An Apology

Two people in a gallery space viewing work.

Gallery space with some fabric and painted works on display.

Two neat rows of six mottled yellow kerchiefs with black ink designs are hung with clothespins by their corners on a wall.

Two sets of work; to the left, four colorful abstract ink shapes on paper are each paired with a black and white photograph of a country road; to the right is a rectangular sheet of cloth dyed deep blue with a faint design that suggests two telephone poles and a country road.

Square canvas painted with four greenish organic shapes like brain scans overlaid by feathery red and pink tracery. In the center of the canvas is a small square grid of fabric with a mesh of strings tacked over it.

Abstract painting of a pink, fleshy shape mottled with bright blues, reds, pinks and yellows on a dark ground. The top edge of the painting surface is rough, irregular, and veiny. Along the bottom edge of the painting, an organically shaped metal plate juts out at a downward angle, covered in an array of tiny tacks.

Painting of a blurred, sleepy-looking bronze head overlapping uneven shapes in rainbow and hot pink on a slate blue ground. The painting is wobbly rectangle shape with the bottom left corner trimmed out.

Two people in a gallery space look at a piece consisting of four wigs of different colors, textures, and lengths topped by yarmulkes projecting from the wall.

On the left is a vertical rusty orange panel with a blue cheesecloth and two long, dark, curly strands of hair tacked to it. Curly hair-like designs can be seen beneath the cheesecloth. On the right is a magenta vertical panel with a curtain of blonde hair screening the silhouette of a person's bust with a large hair bun.

Green-dyed map of the United States that has been stitched with a grid of squares. Several four by four sections of the map have been cut away.

Five sheets of handmade paper inlaid with leaves and wildflowers with verses printed on them.

Five sheets of handmade paper inlaid with leaves and wildflowers with verses printed on them. Projected on these sheets are four scenes of fires and one other verse of poetry (illegible).

Square canvas with a watery orange, green, purple, and brown abstract painting. The paint is thin and blotchy.

Knit sweater with a square neck and blocky rectangular sleeves made from irregular blocks of bright blue, black, and rust-colored yarn.

View of a gallery space with several paintings and three knitted items on display.

A curtain made of brown shiny upholstery fabric with a yellow, bunched segment the shape of a vulva in the center.

View of an arrangement of dead or dying plants in fancy china displayed on a red and white quilt in a window box looking out onto a city street.
