Sally Gall’s photographs of garments billowing and flowing transform a domestic chore into a sensuous celebration of abstract form.

Sally Gall’s photographs of laundry flapping on a line—which are the subject of a new show, “Aerial,” at the Julie Saul Gallery, in Chelsea—transform a domestic chore into a celebration of color and abstract form. Seen from below against cloudless blue-and-white skies, garments billow and flow, becoming jellyfish, calla lilies, birds in flight.

This new work is more expansive but just as sensuous, with a vivid palette of color and a sly undercurrent of eroticism. Much of the wash looks rather anonymous, just streaming scarves or other bits of fabric, but the biggest blossoms—especially the full-blown poppy—are distinctly feminine: skirts that Gall invites us to look up. “I’m searching for poetry in the everyday,” Gall told April Gornik in a recent interview, but she doesn’t mind teasing her viewers along the way.
