Laundry
Meat is an ongoing project started in 2009 as a collection of shredded
tissues caught accidentally in the laundry cycle. Originally dyed with
vegetable dyes made with beets and carrots, the material looked like shredded
pulled-pork, hence the name Laundry Meat. When photographed
or manipulated Laundry Meat looks strangely similar to human/animal organs. And
when mixed with different mediums it has the feeling of dried flesh. This fits
perfectly with my interest in bodily forms and speaks of both interior and
exterior worlds at the same time, which is at the core of my work.
Here's how it's made..
