“Street Life”, Double-sided banner (2020) + 5 smaller pieces (2022).

Homeless persons are frequently framed as responsible for their own circumstances due to, for example, drug addiction or unwillingness to work whereas rather than being a lifestyle choice there are multiple circumstances leading to homelessness. Protesting this, over 50 lace silhouettes have been stitched onto one side of a deteriorated blanket, symbolic of homeless persons’ means of shelter, with each silhouette having a hand-stitched description of the cause of their homelessness, such as “homemaker, divorcee, little super”, “toxic institutional care”, “continually having a go, no luck” and “left country, no water”. The other side has translucent silhouettes falling down. 5 smaller pieces each contain a silhouette or silhouettes and individual descriptions.
