The housewife (A.P.)

When I was very young I discarded the idea of being a housewife. I don't want anyone to be confused, I have nothing against them and it seems to me to be as honorable job as any other. It just isn't for me. At a very young age I dreamed of being an artist and traveling around the world. I imagined a bohemian life, almost always on a plane and with a different apartment every week in each country.Nor did I see me with children. Not married. It wasn't very compatible with the rest of my plans. At most, one lover in each city, like the sailors. However, fate is capricious and sometimes takes you down paths you can't even imagine. Having children, a stable partner and getting married no longer seems so far-fetched to me. I don't want a lover in every harbour and I prefer a house in a good city to call home. Still, I don't think my childhood dreams were too far from what I want now. I still hope to fly all over the planet thanks to my work.I was a housewife for a while and I have never felt so trapped. I kept remembering that girl imagining herself spreading her art around the world. That's what I wanted to talk about in this photograph. I show myself at that moment, with a supposedly “luxury” life but it wasn't mine. In a beautiful and colorful garden, and yet I am monochromatic and lifeless, trying to recover, in some way, the rebelliousness that I once had.

It is important to avoid direct contact with sunlight. If you want to save the artwork, instead of having it exposed, it should be done in a drawer and protected with a tissue paper or any other soft paper.

If you exhibit the artwork in a room, it must be protected by glass or methacrylate with UV protection.

If you want to frame it, the materials must be acid free as well as the passepartout. If the frame is made of wood and is in direct contact with the photo, it must be made of natural wood and without varnish.

Adhesives must also be acid free. If not, any other adhesive could leave yellow marks and deteriorate the support.

The work should never be touched directly with the hands in order to avoid leaving traces of grease or moisture. You have to touch it with cotton gloves like the ones that we enclose inside the package.

Do not screw the photograph back on after it has been removed from the tube in case you have received it like that.

Store the work in a cool, dry place preferably at a room temperature between 10º and 30º with a relative humidity between 49% and 60%.

If you have acquired more than one photograph, they should never be touched between them since the surface is very sensitive. You should always put a tissue paper or, at least, another soft paper between the both of them.

A pair of white cotton gloves and a personalized postcard.

The artwork is shipped flat or rolled in a tube depending on the size, well protected with bubble wrap.
