“Laundry” is a nod to the humble act of pegging out the washing, and hints to what that means in the bigger picture of climate change and global warming. For some, there’s a reduction in ability and/or willingness to peg the washing out on the line. This might be for many reasons - population rise and a shift to more high-density units, new mega houses that consume their entire block and eat up yard space, time poor people, priority changes, preference for convenience … Whatever the reason, the washing ends up in an electric dryer. This demand has roll-on (or roll-back) effects all the way to the coal mines and gas fields. It contributes to global warming and climate change. The simple and unpretentious act of pegging the washing out, and letting the sun and wind do the drying, is underrated as a legitimate way to live sustainably and protect the environment. It seems that the promotion of strategies to “help save the planet” is fairly restricted and tightly linked to kudos and profit potential rather than every day and modest behaviours that might require a little effort: things like pegging out the washing. Much of my work in relief printmaking, including this reduction print, champions everyday objects and actions and aims to challenge how we see and perceive them.
