The title hints at a kind of wild domesticity, a leaking between the categories of inside and outside, garden and home. The exhibition features improvised quilts, furniture that escapes functionality, living dye plants, and dolls that resemble ornamental, interior fixtures. The works are arrangements of the earth (clay, cotton, and plant pigments) crafted into sculptures and quilts that playfully engage the space.
