Debbie Lawson, Alligator, 2025
Carpet and mixed media
30 × 43 × 16 inches
Debbie Lawson’s sculptures take the form of life-sized animals emerging from Persian-style rugs, which nod to many centuries of global trade and cultural exchange. The carpets signify domestic space, connoting whole histories of feminized labor and craft, while the animals suggest the untold stories woven into these textiles.
