A signed single screen print entitled 'The Laundry' by the artist Emma Smith.

These instructions focus on three main domestic spaces titled The Kitchen, The Laundry and The Common Room. Produced as a series of 3, the prints can be bought either individually or as a collection. The series have been produced as a limited edition of 10 A3 screen prints on GF Smith Marlmarque paper.

The project was commissioned by Radar, LUA and developed in collaboration with academics from Social Sciences and the Design School.
