Intimately Mundane Painting

Washing on a line is both mundane and intimate. It can show much about a place, its social status, prosperity, and the individual wealth or poverty of the home where it hangs. Still a women’s chore in most of the world, washing laundry is an act that reaches back to touch past generations of women. Whether silk dresses or threadbare sheets their disembodied identity dances defiantly on the line, fluttering in the wind. Intimately Mundane looks at the idea of laundry hung out to dry being like women’s secrets aired unnoticed. Blowing wildly under a night sky, they fly like dreams over a stormy sea. Made with torn dictionary pages, like lost thoughts, and net bags from fruit, discarded in the kitchen and transformed into mermaid scales. Paper sleeves of cups and wine bottles are embedded in the backwash of the sea in this work, as a reference to the popularisation of ‘wine o’clock’, a way for women to numb their senses and forget.
