Traditionally, laundry has been considered women's work.
Laundry is repetitive, cyclical.
Sooner or later the same garment will reappear in the weekly wash, demanding attention. For the past five years I have been working with the image of laundry as a metaphor for women's role in society. In 1993 I interviewed women in laundromats in many different neighborhoods of Cincinnati, OH, collecting their thoughts and philosophies on life, love and laundry.
