Everyday Practice is a collection of 30 self-portraits arranged into a wall calendar month. The series is an alternative personal to-do list populated with items that seldom appear on an agenda despite their importance. In each image, the artist incorporates mundane household items or personal necessities that are rarely featured in artistic portraiture. What the visitor sees is a glimpse of a stranger’s private and somewhat haphazard documentation of her daily exercise in mindful appreciation of life’s basic pleasures and forgotten essentials. The lack of effort to provide coherent or sufficiently explanatory captions may suggest that this exercise was never intended for an audience.

This brief and out-of-place voyeuristic encounter is intended to challenge the exhibition visitor’s expectations and interrupt automatic daily rhythms. By prompting a critical reflection on the basic activities and rituals that make life kinder and more livable, the series invites viewers to reconsider their own daily practices.
