Cloth consists of a group of floorcloths that take on sculptural form. Floorcloths are surfaced designed canvasses, traditionally used as floor coverings. They reference domestic functional decoration and structures, imagery and tropes. Within a visual arts context, they represent alternate aesthetic practice and history, namely issues around feminism and the re-evaluation of what has been traditionally labeled women's work.

One of the most vivid references for the floorcloth imagery is the Dutch vanitas paintings of the 17th century. These paintings were an expression of the ephemeral nature of life and pleasure—a morality lesson. Flowers and flies populate my floorcloths as they did vanitas paintings. As much as the floorcloths refer to a history of painting they also negate that allusion by their functionality, impertinence and horizontal orientation. This is art to walk on. The viewing perspective creates a dizzying sense of vertigo and dictates a new way of looking.

Floorcloths have always been primarily about pretension. They were a poor man’s Persian carpet—thin, flat, paint taking the place of rich, warm tufted wool. They have the subversive power of a fake or a facsimile.
