EXHIBITIONISTA: “Knot Sorry” at Not Shockboxx Gallery
By Debra Disman
I am happy to be participating in “Knot Sorry” at Not Shockboxx Gallery!
I will be showing for the first time a new work entitled: Target Practice which can be presented in multiple ways:


Knot Sorry pulls fiber art out of the polite, domestic corner and into the spotlight where it belongs — bold, labor-intensive, intimate, and impossible to ignore. This exhibition celebrates work made by hand, by time, by tension. Quilts that carry stories. Garments that feel like armor or confession. Threads that bind, unravel, and reassemble meaning.
We’re interested in fiber as both material and message. The slow process. The repetitive act. The history stitched into every surface. And the ways artists are pushing these traditions into something sharper, stranger, more personal.
Bring us the pieces that blur the line between craft and fine art. The ones that feel obsessive. Tender. Unapologetic. Work that holds weight — physically or emotionally — whether it’s stitched, knotted, woven, sewn, or layered into mixed media.
This is about care and control. About labor you can see. About softness that doesn’t ask permission.
No apologies. No minimizing.
