To celebrate the legacy of craft for our 2026 auction, we chose installation proposals that honored long-practiced methods of beauty and painstaking labor. Few rituals represent this better than the family doily. “If These Shadows Could Talk” by Pam Korman combines an installation of textiles and a first-person video to highlight rituals, inheritance, and identity – magnifying everyday repetitive behaviors to reveal how formative impressions are left on the following generations through repeated exposure. To crochet a doily is to perform a ritual rhythm – stitch after stitch, loop after loop – patterns emerge not only from thread and crochet hooks, but from the muscle memory of women who learned by watching others and then themselves passed down the act. Doilies reimagine the family gallery wall through dozens of unique hand-crocheted doilies installed on long pins. Stage lights shine brightly to reveal the doily patterns and cast layered shadows across the wall behind them. The doilies and their shadows amass and multiply into a ghostly field of patterns. The delicate, crafted ornament transforms into a significant presence echoing and repeating like the makers, their hands and the echoes of those who came before and will come after.

One final message of overwhelming gratitude to those who attended and supported my solo exhibition The Weight of Ghosts at AUTOMAT last month!!  Seeing these works installed (some for the first time) was incredibly rewarding. I couldn’t do any of this without my family and friends and a handful of outstanding art colleagues who offered technical and installation assistance. Thanks to the Philly community who stopped by had conversations and shared their thoughts on the work.  It’s always over so soon, and now I’m off to the next thing (can’t wait to announce more later this week)! Thank you thank you thank you for your love and support from the bottom of my heart. 👻 #ghoststories #matrilineage #newmedia #automatgallery #senseofself @automat_collective

LAST CHANCE to see Pam Korman’s solo exhibition, The Weight of Ghosts, this Saturday, February 28 from 12 - 5 pm. It’s been an incredible ride! Thanks to everyone who supported the show! These last two works were the centerpiece of the exhibition: Image 1: Persistent Outcomes, 2026 Neon-flex lights, modular pipe scaffold, timing system A scaffold displays a series of programmed lights that pulse in rotating sequences, representing qualities that move between grandmother, mother, and daughter. Inspired by epigenetics, the work treats inherited traits not as fixed but activated, emerging through influence, proximity, and repetition. Korman calls the accumulation of small, ordinary behaviors, “invisible repetition”, noting they pass through the maternal line, gradually shaping identity over time. The repeating light sequences render these subtle transmissions visible, translating an unseen influence into rhythm and form. Image 2: SCREEN TESTS, 2025 three-channel color video installation, each video runs 4:22, no audio Inspired by Andy Warhol’s films of the same name, Screen Tests presents three women seated before a white background under a single light source. Evoking archetypes – Grandmother-Mother-Daughter or Crone-Mother-Maiden – they embody positions that anchor a lineage, marking both persistence and change. Sitting alone in an empty room, they don’t share physical space, but they are connected by a sense of generational continuity, passing micro-expressions and subtle similarities.

Pam Korman: The Weight of Ghosts Open hours this Saturday, February 21 from 12 - 5 pm On view: February 7 - 28, Saturdays, 12 - 5 pm & by appt Pictured: Paper Skins About the work: aluminum foil, glue, interior wall paint, aluminum rolling pin Paper Skins transforms a disposable kitchen material into something weighty and enduring. One hundred and eleven pieces of foil were coated and painted white by the artist, her mother, and her daughter before being layered over an aluminum rolling pin, the form recalling a scroll or book. The process embeds the touch of multiple generations, each surface carrying traces of handling and care. What was once ordinary and throwaway becomes dense and permanent. More about the show: In her first solo exhibition, The Weight of Ghosts, Korman collects, constructs, alters, and (re)organizes common household items to become artifacts of identity. These utilitarian objects exemplify behaviors – learned through repeated exposure and imitation, rather than being taught – that leave subtle imprints on the following generation. Patterns structured around multiples of three feature prominently in Korman’s work and reference the archetypal trinity of Grandmother, Mother, and Daughter or Source, Conduit, and Carrier, and the qualities they transmit. This captures ideas of continuity and transformation through Ancestral, Present, and Emerging aspects of the self. All three become one when, as author Layne Redmond noted, “The grandmother once carried the mother in her womb while she herself was developing the egg that would become the daughter.”
