Lesley Turner, 'Laundry Mantra: Close all Zippers', 2021, 36" x 36". Vintage cotton domestic linens, buttons, zippers, metal snaps, polyester thread. To launder became a universal task when humans started wearing clothes yet it has always been a highly gendered activity with misogynistic demands for spotlessly clean and mended results.
