   Presentation


Reviewing the way that Luloff has explored domesticity - arguably her portfolio's seminal concept - provides useful insight into the way that she commands in tandem the various aspects of her practice. The regularly occurring motif fascinates the patient artist, and she has spent years surveying its contours. During our lively conversation in her rather dreamy Bushwick studio, Luloff says, "the idea of the domestic has always been important, has always been a huge focus for me... the idea of a peaceful home or a disturbed home... I feel like, in one way or another, I make a lot of home environments." In its fundamental-most, literal-most iteration, domesticity is imbued into Luloff's practice by way of the swaths of used bed sheets included in every piece; they conjure for the audience thoughts of sensation, of sex and skin and comfort, and, perhaps most significantly to Luloff, life lived. Also, she uses bleach to draw the pictures of flora or men or teapots into those sheets, that act conjuring thoughts of home cleaning and scents, and maybe more broadly, home organisation.
