In collaboration with domestic workers, this body of work wields the act of cleaning as the process of art-making. Domestic workers are hired to maintain a clean canvas as I execute paint onto the surface. The canvas records traces of tension resulted in the oscillation between the sense of duty and the mode of expression by the cleaners/painters. By juxtaposing the domestic work and the experience of art-making, the role of the “laborer” and the “artist” is reshuffled and decontextualized. This constant switching of roles disrupts the egocentric supremacy of artistic expression while appropriating the open authorship of an artwork.
