Much Like Yesterday, 2018, Performance

By  Fliss Quick 2018

Much like Yesterday is a durational performance. I invite viewers to observe me in the usually unseen act of housewifery: I ‘perform my domestic duties’'. The performance highlights the intrinsic rhythms and repetition in the gestures of the homemaker and asks the viewer to attend to these everyday moments. Choosing to present these usually private and mundane acts is an attestation to my role as an artist: Housework is Artwork. 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.
