Permanent Danger takes its title from Anna Torma’s 2017 artwork of the same name, intimating meanings that encompass human strife and vulnerability, conditions of sustained risk, threatened natural environments, and the highs and lows of daily life. Her uniquely dense and vivid textiles are the perfect expression of such complex experiences, intensely layering details that speak to ideas of family and well-being, sexuality and identity, home and place.

The publication includes a foreword by Emma Quin, Emily Falvey, and Shauna McCabe, as well as essays by Anne Koval and Emily Falvey.
