I have taken photographs of wash hanging on the line, sometimes in the bright sunshine othertimes
the wash is hanging waiting for the sun. Always in Italy, hanging high outside of beautiful shuttered windows or against the backdrop of a pastel colored stone wall you can find someone’s laundry. The whites or darks might be together, other items such as sneakers might appear. There is order and beauty to the design these personal items have as there are placed hanging on the line.  Recently I put togehter this handmade book which includes some of my favorite photographs of hanging out the wash.  It was donated to the Morgan Conservatory of papermaking and Book Arts.
