Worn shines light on the ritual of hang-drying clothes. The garments hang open in space, as if they were outside. Warm light, like the sun, reflects off the surface of the pieces and casts a textured shadow on the wall behind them. The viewer is invited to notice both the clothes and their shadows, and to watch them sway if a gust of wind passes through. Today, we are accustomed to the automated maintenance of our belongings. We have lost the patience to slow down and engage in meticulous tasks. This piece recalls a time when we were more present with our possessions. The garments on the line are plastic imprints, rigid and transparent. The clothesline is but a shadow, a memory of when we used to take care of our things.
