‘Housewifery is continual, repetitious, ephemeral, and the results are fleeting and usually uncelebrated’. Through preserving and displaying 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 everyday family life: Works which seek to situate the artist in relation to mother, wife and homemaker.
