Thank You, December 31st unfolds as an installation across the exhibition space. Camisoles hang suspended from the ceiling; smartphone screens illuminate the fabric from within. Text messages are visible on the screens — thank-you emails sent to clients, and notes entered into a CRM (customer relationship management) system. The screens switch before the messages can be fully read. The camisoles were provided by women working in the sex industry; the messages are borrowed from their labor. The date in the title — December 31st — becomes an intimation of work that continues through the night the rest of society closes.

Thank You, December 31st #1 is an acrylic-mounted photograph of the installation Thank You, December 31st, consisting of multiple camisoles each concealing a smartphone within.
