Salt Works

2022

Scaffolding, 5-gallon buckets, cement blocks, clamp light and video

1 cup of salt = 0.6 lbs
Daughter at 6 years = 44 lbs

Salt Works is a consideration of the work involved in motherhood, the work of being an artist, and how to work at both. In this series, I complete different durational tasks with a 5-gallon bucket of salt filled with an amount that weighs the same as my young daughter.
