Oliver Herring, Untitled (Body Bag), 1995, being sold at Wright20 on Apr. 20, 2023
Herring began knitting mylar tape as a way to remember and honor the genderbending performance artist Ethyl Eichelberger, who died at his own hand in 1991 after learning of his AIDS diagnosis. Herring said he remembered Lady Bunny announced it at Wigstock.
Knitting was an embodiment of time which freed up his mind to figure out what his artwork should look like. Herring made knitted mylar sculptures for almost a decade.

you motherfuckers have no concept of what "land back" or "decolonize" even mean. you're too busy demonizing entire groups of people, terrified, shitting yourselves, that they'll do even half of the horrors to you that you've done to them for decades or centuries. this shit comes off as hella racist for real. you hate arabs so much. you hate first nations people so much. you hate black people so much. even if you sympathize with them, you can't fucking bear the idea of them gaining freedom, independence, autonomy, safety, because you're so, so scared they'll hurt you back and cause chaos in the streets. these same people who just want to rebuild. who just want to go home. who just want to see their families again. who just want food. who just want medical care. who just want dry, warm shelter. you're so focused on the ideas of colonization, of "us vs. them", of one people displacing the other for a state to exist, that you cannot comprehend coexistence, and your only idea of peace is if an entire group of people were just gone and dead.
grow the fuck up. for the love of GOD, grow the fuck up.
