Slit Slot Slat


This slit is unzipped. Does this make it a slot? Virginia brings out the best and worst in us all by highlighting the hidden... A dirty old worn teatowel has been used and abused yet retains something of it's pastel pink purity making it seem vulnerable and slight, in need of protection and nurturing. Or should she be able to be dirty and pure at the same time? Is it a physicality that determines this? Tony Abbott says we must bring back the chastity belt for our fillettes. Are our boys not worthy of such attention to their developing sexuality?


this slit is zippered. You may not be able to read but the text adorned by floral buttons says 'cuisine'. Something keeps reappearing lately, a theme that suggests the humble teatowel may be occasionally gendered. Orifices of various types have been appearing in old and new teatowels alike suggesting that the orifice may have something to do with the domestic zones...the souvenir trade...or cultural positioning....could this be possible?
