Vive La Revolution, 2024, 100 x 110cm,
Patched fabric on cotton
For Vive La Révolution, 2024, I worked with scraps of fabric absorbed from the home - aprons, bedsheets, upholstery, and curtains. The artwork depicts a woman courageously wielding her broom and iron, adorned with a flowing silk cape. Rooted in the domestic realm, this image emerges as an ode to unveil and celebrate the often overlooked and undervalued everyday heroines – the unsung ‘Sheroes’. These individuals, labouring in the domestic sphere, remain un(der)paid, un(der)valued, and unfortunately, frequently invisible in our society.
