This is the gallery's largest exhibition to date, featuring the feet-focused works of 26 brilliant artists from around the world.

In lieu of standard exhibition text, I had my mother, a former elementary school teacher, write a poem about feet:

"Feet Pics

An anatomical masterpiece

Carrying the weight of our world

Grotesque, foul, wounded,

pampered, and pearled

Inherently violent, causing damage and pain

Needs to be punished and trapped in a chain

They channel the energy, deep in the Earth

Powerful healing, enhancing their worth

The devotion of fetishists are strikingly strong

Like many worshippers that do nothing wrong

Unless you’re Imelda, who thinks more of her feet

Buying thousands of shoes while the country can’t eat

To touch the thick skin and wiggle the toes

Brings pleasure and sweet desire that grows

The biomechanical miracle that loves skipping, and dance

Come see our “feet art” and give us a chance

We have paintings, and soft sculpture only buyers can squeeze

The artwork is dazzling and intended to please

No feet have been abused or harmed in this show

All feet, socks, and shoes are free to go

All artwork is looking for a forever-home

Please come to the show, and to all shalom"
