I Dreamed You Were Here documents Jessica Wohl’s solo exhibition of the same name at the Hunter Museum of American Art.

Using the language of quilting, Wohl transforms the Hunter Museum Mansion Stairwell with layered textile banners from found garments, linens, and discarded household items. Her process of dissassembling and reusing textiles creates a tactile exchange with the item’s former owner - the new forms that emerge are collaborations with those histories. These pieces address the hidden potential beneath the surface of our day-to-day systems of care, labor, and relationships. In her work, Wohl uses the softness of the material and the intricately stitched text to communicate with the viewer, inviting them to join her in a quiet revolution against exploitation and oppression. 

I Dreamed You Were Here features contributions by artists Zak Foster and Brian Hitselberger, whose insights into Wohl’s work and process further illuminate her practice. Also included are facsimiles of Wohl’s embroidered to-do list series I’ll Take Care of It - an intimate look into the care and relationships of the artist herself.
