Gesticulation presents a compact, psychologically charged tableau in which Christina Forrer's characteristic cast of interlocking figures navigates an ambiguous moment of contact, conflict, or communion. Woven in cotton and wool with ink accents, the work measures 43.2 by 43.2 centimetres, a deliberately intimate scale that draws the viewer close and implicates them in whatever exchange is unfolding. Forrer's palette tends toward earthy, muted tones punctuated by flashes of color, and her linework, translated through the weft, carries the expressiveness of drawing while remaining inseparable from the textile structure itself. Forrer trained at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Basel before completing her MFA at the California Institute of the Arts, and her practice occupies a space between folk narrative tradition and contemporary psychological drama. The weaving medium is essential rather than incidental, as the interlaced threads formally echo the entangled relationships her figures embody. Hands and gestures recur throughout her work as sites of meaning, and the title here underscores that interest in bodily communication, in what the body says when words are insufficient or absent. Works of this scale and intimacy by Forrer are well suited to a private collection, where close looking can reward the time that the gallery wall sometimes denies. The piece is offered through Corbett vs. Dempsey, a Chicago gallery with a long history of championing formally rigorous and emotionally resonant work, and it arrives without a frame, allowing collectors to make considered decisions about presentation and context.
