Artist statement:

“I was contemplating the common, house-hold clothes peg and was fascinated by their colours and contours. I’m always handling clothes pegs - they have been part of my daily life for decades. These funny little bits of plastic and wire are humble and are usually over-looked in the rush of day to day life. They serve an important service by making us use the wind to dry our clothes and not the energy wasting electric dryer.”
