Specimens of Labor uses the methodology of botanical pressing to document the unmaintained yard as a record of feminist economic fact. Each specimen (creeper, dandelion, wood sorrel, bindweed) is mounted with satin ribbon, invoking the tradition of Victorian decorative arts: the needlework, ribbon embroidery, and domestic craft that encoded a woman's time as ornament. The well-kept yard operates under the same logic, a legible surface that assumes someone has both the hours and the obligation to maintain it. Each plant is catalogued not by species but by duration: the time its removal would have taken, and what that time cost instead.
