Is it important to try to avoid being labelled or pigeon holed as an artist, or is it impossible to control? If I use the words ‘feminist’ or ‘textile’ or ‘domestic’ am I alienating part of my audience, who might otherwise enjoy the work? Is this thought in itself a prejudiced attitude? If I show work in stately homes does it undermine the possibility of showing in serious galleries? Is any of this even worth thinking about?
meanwhile I keep taking photo’s of washing on lines – I particularly like bedsheets. I’ve got some good pics of red bed sheets on my phone but bluetooth won’t work so I can’t show you.
