My chosen workers for this project are cleaners and hairdressers/barbers. I feel they're both kind of secretive. Cleaners often go unnoticed, they silently take in all the rubbish in the office and safely remove it. Hairdressers are stereotyped as gossipy therapists, listening to the woes of their clients and chopping away the split ends. You rarely hear about what they're thinking.
I feel weaving connects nicely with cleaners because of the way it organises shapes and colours, the act of weaving is very much like the act of cleaning. I thought about this whilst at the William Morris gallery.
For this project I think the tools of the workers will be most important. I should also get to know two workers personally, I think this will be something I can do tomorrow.
