Fifty-second Connection: Restores Beauty

Inspired by the compelling world of ads with their siren song promises of hope and eternal renewal that we want to believe despite ourselves, here is a page from my artists’ book Clean House Clean Mind: a Guide to Psychological Cleaning ©1988.The drawings were made with black drawing ink, applied with a brush, over a pencil layer on Arches paper. Descriptions of other imagined household cleaning implements include: a scrub pad that Scours away guilt, a small net that Traps free floating anxieties and (my favorite) a bottle of cleaning fluid that Denies the existence of dirt.
