Washing
Washing as art? Once women's first chore of the week, Morley Grainger's astute, acute, witty exhibition Washing turns the clothesline into a string of provocative punch lines about where women were, and how far they've come.
Stylised denim 'clothes',
tonally graded from dark indigo to pale, meander around the exhibition space
beginning and ending with a pictorial banner. Visually the work is benign but
the 'clothes' carry hand-embroidered text - a mixture of satire and compassion
- once recognised demanding viewer attention.
