Everyday I don’t (2021) is a ribbon with the opening lyrics to Anna Domino’s song of the same name printed onto it, in gold lettering. It’s a ribbon, a present, a prize, a sash, an embellishment, a tie, a tacit acknowledgment of grief, a thing that makes you look beautiful if you were to wear it in your hair, a symbol, a reminder, and a gift about non-disclosure & resisting resolution. It’s about not being fucked, as a strategy. In its entirety it’s 100m of Beau Blue satin ribbon, cut into 5m strips for you and yours. Initially the ribbon was about saying no, now it’s about perseverance.
