CLOAKING QUILTING RECKONING: WE STOLE WAGES

​2022 - 163 x 181 x 2cm
Linen, Cotton, Wood

Exploring reparative practice through sustained, critical hand-stitching, We Stole Wages reflects on colonial subjectivity. Centralising the role of colonial whites, the work directly addresses our complicity in the enslaving of Australian Aboriginal teens into indentured labour through domestic service or farm work. 
Deconstructing domestic textiles commonly purchased as souvenir items, that appropriated Aboriginal art and cultural objects and reinscribed Country through the eyes of the white tourist, the quilt-like object and slow, extended labour is a transversal process for acknowledging colonial responsibility.
