Through my work runs a relationship between weaving and gossip, the leisure and the maintenance. The work comes from a desire to reimagine the derogatory conception of maintenance work, and the inhabitants of those spaces. Maintenance work is cleaning (sometimes for free and sometimes for money), warping, weaving, stroking, boiling, caring, collecting, washing misreading, rewriting, back and forth across floors, bodies, fabrics, shiny surfaces.
An act of kneading, rubbing, scrubbing.
In these actions gossip is flourishes. The loom is a recording device, recording wagging tongues through the yarn.
