On the Line is a time-lapse video and photo compilation of six months’ worth of one of domestic labor’s most repetitive and relentless tasks: laundry. By   documenting every load washed, every dryer load, and every line of drying clothes, the project seeks to show the cumulative weight of an everyday chore,   particularly within the context of parenting and motherhood.

AUDREY EASTWOOD is a multi-disciplinary artist, General Manager of the Bus Stop Theatre Co-op, and Co-Founder and Artistic Producer of Terra Novella Theatre. She has worked as an actor,  designer, musician, technician, and fight choreographer for a number of Kjipuktuk based companies including Villain’s Theatre, Kick at the Dark Theatre Co-op, Halifax Summer Opera, Halifax Fringe, Votive Dance and Whale Song Theatre. She is the mother of two young children, and lives on a small farm with them and her partner Nick. Her artistic practice has shifted in the last few years to try and find space in the small gaps of time between work and childcare: cutting floral designs into sourdough bread, filling indoor and outdoor spaces with plants, teaching her kids the names of different birds and trees and how to successfully cut paper without cutting your small fingers, and by making this art piece out of her never ending laundry pile.
