She Kept Her Conjuring Table Very Neat, 1990, Renee Stout (American, born 1958), mixed media. Image Description: “On the table, slightly lifted from the floor, an array of small, but potent items are placed carefully in their designated spots, as if to activate the forces necessary to facilitate some sort of sacred communication. An adorned pair of shoes is placed directly in front of the table, identifying this space as one of reverence.” (Source: Virginia Museum of Fine Arts⁠)
