When I interrogated [Linda Brescia] and the other mother artists in Sydney’s west about how we (I?) could keep on making art she responded: 'I consider myself a feminist but I’m the one who scrubs the toilets.' In my mind that line is essentially what all her art is about – that seemingly contradictory position of being a deeply political feminist and knowing that at the end of the day you’re still responsible for cleaning the shit.
