Having a family full of men, means lots of laundry. I spend a lot of time in my little laundry room. At some point I started to hate every minute of it. So I made a demolition movement on a circular direction all around the room, after which I had to fix the walls, spackle, sand, paint, hang some state of the art shelving from The Container Store (LOVE IT!!) , and organize everything in the beautiful organizer baskets- PINK! Did it all myself. All that labor made my artistic juices flow free; it could also be the Feng Shui of a clean pretty laundry room, I do not know. Anyway, I set down and made an Origami composition “Two on Line”. Then it progressed to “Three on Line”, “Family Line”. Well, you ‘v got the idea. This way I have naturally progressed to open an ETSY shop where I make one of a kind custom made shadow boxes for any size family. http://www.marichik.etsy.com.
Now apparently Laundry Day is quite universal and inspiring enough that other artists express themselves on the subject. I find it refreshing and comforting that I am not alone in the world doing that mundane, but necessary common house chore. Here is my favorite Laundry Day by Nina ARTQUIRK.
The next artist Caro SIXHOURS reflects my feeling exactly. I am sure a lot of us have been there.
God bless the laundress!
Beautiful work, Maria! I love esp. the skirts :)
