About this artwork
This work returns to the emotional content expressed by the much earlier Mourning. It has a crocheted ground to which fabric elements and “marks” or signs have been added, and it incorporates the trace of a message at the top. Another textile in the series was described in a recent exhibition as “enjoyably unsettling,” words that could be applied to many of Olszewski’s pieces.
