Washdays


Megan Hildebrandt is a resident artist at the Creative Alliance in Baltimore and every Saturday she goes out into her neighborhood and scrubs marble steps. A painter and performance artist, Megan is interested in American history and experience. For this project she is reenacting Aubrey Bodine's photograph, "Washday" which documents housewives and children scrubbing the steps on Saturday mornings during the 1930's - 50's.
