here are just a couple days left to see Forbidden Fruit. Up through 5/9 Included in the exhibition is #SayGay by Erica Diamond #SayGay responds directly to the rise in #dontsaygay legislation that seeks to erase the existence of queerness in schools by banning books with queer content. The backpack is filled with queer secrets from a workshop with the queer meetup group of Stand Up for Kids Hampton Roads, a nonprofit organization addressing housing insecurity for youth – an issue that disproportionately affects LGBTQ youth. @diamond_erika #SayGay, Reflective vinyl fabric, zipper, *queer secrets, banned books You can see more of Erika’s work in here solo exhibition “Fight or Flight” at the @upstairsartspace in Tryon, NC

Two fun little works by Nava Lubelski are featured in our current exhibition “Forbidden Fruit.” On view through 5/9 Using found fabrics as a ground, Lubelski adds hand-stitching for an aesthetic of “mending” which is reminiscent of the fabric equivalent of the Japanese art of Kintsugi in pottery. Accentuating stains and tears with her needlework, Lubelski focuses attention on these imperfections and celebrates their intrinsic beauty in an act that seems to be reminding us that the small incidents of everyday life are too markers of history. @navalubelski Multichannel, 2004, Thread on stained canvas, 12 x 12 inches Tequila Sunrise, 2009, Thread on stained canvas 12h x 12w in #forbiddenfruit #vulvalike #ladtbits #embroideryoncanvas

Included in our exhibition Forbidden Fruit, “Broken Eggs” by Ursula Gullow. Up through 5/9 The exhibition draws inspiration from the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden of Eden, examining the consequences of succumbing to temptation, the thirst for knowledge, shame, and mortality while further engaging with with modern themes of seduction, forbidden pleasure, and the loss of innocence. This featured work by Gullow utilizes iconographic symbols and art historical references to signify loss of virtue.

On view in our exhibition “Forbidden Fruit,” Mystery by Orly Cogan On vintage linen, time and tenderness intersect. Hand-stitched bodies gather here, over lapping and entwined in a tableau that feels both intimate and elusive. Their gestures are ambiguous a whisper, an embrace, a gaze cast outward as if caught between memory and myth. The work pulses with contradictions: the innocence of flowers alongside the sensuality of the flesh; the openness of play beside the secrecy of whispered exchanges. Are these scenes of joy, of desire, of burden, of care? The story shifts depending on where your eye rests, what stitch is followed. Painted washes soften the surface into a dreamlike haze, while the embroidery anchors it in tactile reality. The linen itself once a domestic textile carries a history of use, care, and intimacy, now transformed into a filed of mystery and imagination. @orlycogan Mystery, 2015 Hand stitched embroidery and paint on vintage linen 51h x 45w in #forbiddenfruit #traceymorgangallery #orlycogan

Three intriguing works by artist Casey Engel are included in our current exhibition “Forbidden Fruit” Developed during a residency at Township10, this series focuses closely on the fingertip as both a tool and a subject. The surfaces are heavily dimpled and pinched, at times almost aggressively handmade, holding the trace of touch as a record of making. In works like Creature and Helios, Engel used pinch molds taken directly from her fingertips, which are embedded into the forms, emerging from and re-entering the surface. These gestures sit somewhere between growth and intrusion, pointing to the tension between what we are taught to find attractive and what we might otherwise reject. Bumps, lumps, and oozing forms, things that can carry shame, are also deeply human and uncomfortably beautiful. @casey__engel Lump, 2024, Stoneware, slip, underglaze, and glaze, 9h x 7w x 7d in Helios, 2024,Stoneware and glaze, 10h x 8 1/2w x 8d in Creature, 2024, Stoneware, slip, underglaze, glaze, and acrylic paint, 5 1/2h x 11w x 11d in #forbiddenfruit #ceramic #traceymorgangallery

In honor of Earth Day, Earth Ear by Margaret Curtis. What if the Earth does have consciousnesses and knowledge. It’s something to ponder as we wrap up the day. @margarcur Earth Ear, 2023 Gouache, ink and ash on paper 24 x 32 inches DM for inquiries #earthday #earthear #workonpaper

There’s still plenty of time to see our current show, Forbidden Fruit. Featuring work by @orlycogan @jameshenkel_pictures @danielsimoneart @margarcur @sharonshapiro @cloud_palace_art @carlyowensweiss @ericwilliamcarroll @casey__engel @navalubelski @lthrice @ursabear

Currently on view in our exhibition, Forbidden Fruit, Crab Apple 10/21/25, by Eric William Carroll. Crab Apple is part of an ongoing project exploring the ideas of climate anxiety and land stewardship through site-specific photograms and temporary installations along a floodplain in Asheville, NC that also serves as neighborhood greenway and the site of my outdoor studio. Trees and bushes are planted and then documented via large-scale cyanotype photograms and other experimental forms of documenting. The resulting images are the visual equivalent of a field recording; abstract yet documentary, ephemeral yet firmly rooted in a specific time & place. @ericwilliamcarroll Crab Apple, 10/21/25 20 cyanotypes (24 x 18” each) 96 x 90 inches Unique #crabapples #forbiddenfruit #cyanotype #traceymorgangallery

Today in #Houston we revisited an old friend who hasn’t lost an inch of her luster. In 2017, we collaborated with @kinzelmanart via @morganlehmangallery to produce this “Untitled” permanent piece for the @tiaa building in the #galleria section of Houston. When I revisit permanent pieces of mine they always seem so much bigger — literally, visually and certainly more dignified, refined, mature — than me! They are still “drawings in space” disrupting or complimenting or simply having a dialogue with the architecture to literally reflect (therefore incorporating) people, light, objects, the architecture, creating a constantly moving and changing environment. I love creating space by interrupting it. Seeing this today made me want to run to the studio in the Bronx but I’m also excited to be with #xandraeden @diverseworks @archwaygallery and friends at the @junghouston starting at 6pm. Fortunate and grateful for both: community and having an intangible voice that hopefully contributes to the well-being of others. Grateful to share this work with you! 🙏 Special thanks to Julie Kinzelman and her team; @patrickheideca @cherylnumarkartadvisory @engageprojects @traceymorgangallery @mitrakhorasheh #JamesHunter & team @the_wiseman_group Houman Sharif & team @memarchitects Jane Weinzapfel @leers_weinzapfel @gerberseid Doug Dahlkemper @smithgroup @signssymbols and others who continue to be strong advocates for the work. 🙏🙏🙏 For more information on these installations (my ongoing affair with rare shiny, highly reflective aluminum!), go to SharonLouden.com/#/sculpture-installations/ or contact [email protected].
