The Ironing Maidens

Pressing Topics

Pressing Topics addresses contemporary issues of gender socialisation and equity within the transglobal workforce. The Ironing Maidens have transformed domestic materials and equipment, including irons and ironing boards, into sculptures, installations, and substrates for projection-mapping. These works collectively form an immersive sensory experience, subverting concepts of domestic labour, technology and gender.
