My ’Shining The Kitchen Floor’, 2017 is based upon a Betty Friedan quote in The New York Times written in 1973: “I (like other women) thought there was something wrong with me because I didn’t have an orgasm waxing the kitchen floor”. Shown as part of ’True Colours’ at Newport Street Gallery, 2018. #housework #awomansworkisneverdone #femalegaze #helenbeardart #oilpainting #art
