(Self)Stewardship

Brooms remind us that everyday tasks are ceremonial, that the sacred and the mundane are one in the same. Stewardship is an abstract western-civilization witch’s broom, a domestic body-sized vessel actively sweeping up broken bits of itself, engaged in self-stewardship. 

Ceremonial brooms prompt the consideration: what will this object cleanse? The vulnerable bristles are mid-sweep, static evidence of agency. The shadows cast are striking– evidence of unseen labor. The glass is clear, a glinting prism of all color; the fibrous tendrils both cast and cleanse its own woven shadows.
