In the fall of 2018, I kept track of what I was doing all day long in a spreadsheet. Each activity I assigned to one of half a dozen different categories, including child care, housework, art practice, and sleep. I picked one week of that time period and during the course of my artist residency at the Women’s Center for Creative Work in Los Angeles, turned it into a series of seven weavings, one representing each day of that week. I wove them during weekly studio hours, on my floor loom that I moved into the space for the exhibition. By giving these ephemeral activities form through my weaving, I have created an analog data visualization of invisible and undervalued domestic labor and transformed it into an artwork with monetary and cultural value.
