Year: 2022

Materials: Mop, foam, 1,000 t-pins, wood stool

Dimensions: 40 x 14 x 14 inches

Image Statement: Mop is attached to the foam with T-pins, referencing a craft kit I did as a child. I was called “high maintenance” by my ex-husband, and I wanted to own this term that is often used in a derogatory way when describing women.
