Agnes Martin when questioned on her gender and sexual orientation was quoted "i'm not a woman, i'm a doorknob, leading a quiet existence.” Susannah Heschel, Jewish feminist scholar created the tradition of placing an orange on a seder plate to represent queer Jews. These queer acts of resistance resulting in surrealist objects, that are absurd, funny and poignant are two of the 6 narratives that Lucy Pauker explores in replace the oranges with door knobs. These stories unfold and connect through visual metaphor and material mind mapping, utilizing the structures of watersheds, seams, pockets and weaving.
