PIECE / WORK is a durational performance/installation by queer, cross-disciplinary artists Katherine Ferrier and Meg Wolfe that disrupts traditional techniques of both improvisational movement and patchwork. They explore emerging forms, nascent friendship, and neurodivergence; centering process and collaborative sense-making.


Two figures alternate between sorting a giant pile of fabric scraps, stitching at two sewing machines, moving in the space, and attaching sewn pieces to the wall. The work unfolds over three days, building both a physical patchwork that grows in size, and a shared movement language that grows in complexity and nuance. Viewers are invited into an intimate witnessing as the space is transformed, seam by seam, gesture by gesture.
