These works form part of a series of 12 paintings examining the abstract shapes created by a series of white clothes hanging outside to dry on a hot sunny afternoon. The paintings zoom into the laundry and attempt to create the child-like sensation of running through, and getting lost within the clothes. There is a sensuality from areas of luminous light within the laundry. The quotidian clothes peg became shimmering and haloed as the light caught them; playful and comical.
