Dirty Laundry serves as an introduction to the 1970s October Crisis and a recollection of the domestic tasks that kept people safe while the military took to street corners. Each piece of the glass "laundry" is sandblasted with hand-cut stencils that feature writing that either referred to, or stemmed from, this point of time and remains pertinent to the ever-evolving state of Franco-Anglo relations in Canada.

Works Quoted: Michele Lalonde, "Speak White," 1974; Pierre Trudeau, “Just Watch Me” speech, 1970; Emile Nelligan, "Soir d’hiver," 1889; Alain Brouillard, “Testimony of Recruitment,” 1963; Bernard Adamus, “Cauchemar en cours,” 2009.
