Cotton, Silk, Wool and Glass Beads on Vintage Linen
I found this vintage tea towel, at the bottom of the bargain bin at a local antique shop. Worn with use, this once beautiful design was stained and full of holes. I set about repairing and embroidering the cloth. Throughout this period, I reflected on the cloths previous owner, and the domestic drudgery this cloth has seen. The cloth started to disintegrate as I stitched. I darned and repaired it over and over, thinking of the repetition and mundanity of domestic labour and care that is still a major focus of so many women’s lives.
