Artist/Teacher Statement: For my Process Piece, I chose to take pictures to document the act of human labor and then compile them into a video. This form is slightly different from other videos in that it is made up of individual photos. There is also no sound for this silent video. Each photo represents the individual steps that make up the process of folding the laundry. I began with a very large pile of clean laundry and then ended with it nicely folded in a pile. This is a weekly job for me and felt like a perfect human process to document. The process itself took probably 15-20 minutes but the documented result is just around a minute.

A few points were docked because your final project did not meet the time limit (1-2 minutes.) What led you to choose this process and to show it in photos rather than watching you fold each item?
