Item description
A mixed-media digital artwork depicting 14 stiff rectangular flags raised into a cloudy sky at different heights, pointed in different directions. The fabric of the flags is a woven texture of socks, each with a different design. Some are pointed away so their patterns aren’t visible; among the visible are a basketball on a gray background, rainbow dots on a black background, and striped blue and white.

Raising Socks

My project is entitled “Family Life Instalments.” With five kids at home, age ranges 5 to 14, my partner Lily and I have had to be pretty creative with how we fill the time to keep the kids occupied. And we have a lot of material to offer a glimpse into a “family life” during these times. (If any one, in fact, wants to see!) The work consists of digital photographs and art of physical objects found in our home. For example, the first file is a year of parchment paper baking, all of the photos I’ve taken of a year’s worth of baking with parchment, and the second file is some of the window art Lily and the kids have done, using glue, food colouring, watercolour and painter’s tape. All work is done in our home.
