Framce Trombly creates household goods such as garden hoses, extension cords, and receipts out of cloth and thread.

Frances. By recreating what is mass-produced she initiates an authority that is missing from the utilitarian original. Interesting concept. I like the works. Thanks, divabat.

These are neat! Though the mop one is a little redundant.

Art Gallery security guard: "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING???!!!" Me: "What do you mean, 'What am I doing?' I noticed the men's room was out of toilet paper. This is a roll of toilet paper. How hard can it be to connect two dots?" Me (Ten minutes later, sitting on sidewalk outside gallery): "So that's why it was so soft!"

This is wonderful! Although I admit I was disappointed that the garbage can was prefab (you can crochet and knit with wire.) I kinda wanted the mop handle, packing tape, etc. to have been artist-made as well. Nevertheless, it's very cool and clever work.

it's too bad that the garden hose and the extension cord are probably not functional. And also not for sale.
