Folding clean laundry is my favorite chore, and absolutely a privilege. My interest in simple daily tasks such as doing laundry began while studying minimalism and simple living in my studies in Shenkar for my degree in Visual Communications. While living alone for the first time I begun documenting the laundry I folded on paper (top). My professors loved it, and we tied it to my project for class at the time, about homeless persons. For this reason, I felt inspired to later use pieces of cardboard as my canvases (bottom).
I continued the laundry pile series in 2024, living alone again after having taken a long break to rest at my parents' house after completing my difficult college studies. The many meanings of the project don't change, but rather they are added like layers. This collection is very dear to me and carries many important concepts about the particular time we live in, the specific time in my life, and the simple beauty, balance, that I want people to notice.
There are currently 33 laundry pile paintings in the series. Pile #10 has been displayed at a group show at the Hertzl House in Tel Aviv. Three original paintings have been sold, as well as several linocut prints of a limited edition print. The online display is updated instantly with each addition on an Instagram account: https://www.instagram.com/laundry.piles/ and the pieces are available for sale directly from the artist.
