LILY VAN DER STOKKER, Decent, tidy, 2014
In the work “Decent, tidy” (2014) Lily van der Stokker uses a motive of typical housewife activities that nowadays is not really a fashionable subject. Most probably it is not even politically correct to be busy with this as a female artist. With the toilet roll on a shelf for an appropriated art object the words clearly refer to a place in the house that needs to be cleaned regularly. In combination with the word “kissy” as a kind of added signature at the lower right part the piece gets into an exuberant up beat, questioning the viewer or challenging him or her.
