Spin Cycle
 

Spin Cycle is an installation of over 300 layered works examining the production and use of the souvenir tea towel. These tea towels are bought, sold, given and received as a flag-type symbol of ‘we was here’, a signifier of our colonial past and an icon of colonial conquest.
In addition, the tea towel is stamped and marked with other meanings creating a layered effect, like culture over culture. Spin Cycle reminds us to look closely at those things we take for granted and have forgotten to see.
