Domestic Relics

‘Housewifery is continual, repetitious, ephemeral and the results are fleeting and usually uncelebrated’. Through the preservation and display of the incidental outcomes of housewifery, I look to make these past events tangible, asking the viewer to mentally reconstruct the actions which led to these traces: figuratively and physically framing the evidence of domestic labour.

This work is part of the Home-Maker series, and was shown originally in the self titled exhibition within our own home amongst the chaos and debris of normal family life: Works which seek to situate the artist in relation to mother, wife and homemaker.
