The book comments and illustrates how some artists have 'a desire to bring these uneventful and overlooked aspects of lived experience into visibility'.
Annette Messager is referred to someone who explores this theme. Her work surrounds ideas of feminism, and so fits in with the 'everyday' as some of her practice 'shines an ambiguous half-light' on predominantly 'womens' activities; sewing, washing, cooking, cleaning. Even though it is about feminism, its also about looking at the everyday, or what is to be assumed as everyday.
It made me think about removing and reinventing the 'everyday' of textiles.
Or working with the everyday of textiles.
And whatever the everyday is, I quite like it.
