Giant Women

Paired up, we stood on the balustrades of two balconies on adjacent (and identical) townhouses. One was dilapidated, the other restored. Like caryatids, we tried to prop up the balcony structure or, like ancient warrior-strongwomen, to push it apart, facing the unyielding nature of the stone. On display, we questioned the meaning of our work as women – the upholding and maintenance of domestic order, but also the effort involved in attempting to bring about change.
