"Ironings" is a domestic, gender-related and labor-intensive body of work created by employing reclaimed cotton fabric (rejected for its color), starch and the manual chore of ironing. Through evolutionary and performative installations, the medium of ironed, re-ironed and un-ironed marks and folds are used to highlight concepts of temporality, transition, memory and perception; while notions of extended and compacted spaces are explored. Concurrently the practice of this cultural and socially specific task questions the positioning of women and labor in society and the relevance of classical art mediums in contemporary art.
