DIRTY LAUNDRY: SOIR D'ÉTÉ
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.
