Message
Lesley Turner, 'Laundry Mantra: Button Button', 2021, 18" x 18" x 1". Vintage cotton domestic linens, buttons, metal snaps, polyester thread. The task of doing laundry is no sooner done than it needs to be repeated.
The task of doing laundry is no sooner done than it needs to be repeated. It is a demanding repetitive task that requires attention to detail. Since humans started wearing garments this universal task has always been a highly gendered activity and continues to be most often relegated to women’s work to this day.
