Anne Wilson is a Chicago-based artist and educator. Dispersions (no. 19), from her family's damask linens, is presented in the size of a formal table napkin. Holes in the cloth are accentuated with a few strands of human hair and countless miniscule stitches of colored thread sewn by hand. From a distance, the embroidered holes suggest evidence of gunshots or burns. At first it may appear that the fabric was stitched with urgency, as if to take control of a situation resulting from violence. Up close, however, one can see that each stitch is perfectly formed with great patience.
