Webb and fellow Wilmington, North Carolina, artist Sandra Ihly decided to tackle the decades-old debate on this traditional role of domesticity with the birth of their joint exhibition, aptly titled <em>Laughing at Laundry<\/em>. Webb explained to Wilmington\u2019s <em>Encore<\/em> magazine that the duo is \u201cendeavoring to look at the subject from every possible \u2018normal\u2019 angle and perhaps every unthought-of angle, in hopes of eliciting a chuckle or thought\u201d (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.encorepub.com\/welcome\/?p=3891\">www.encorepub.com<\/a>, 2\/23\/11). Although the work is comical in nature, it also contains a feminist edge intended to move viewers toward dialogues about women in the home. \u201cLaundry is one of those necessary evils that must be acknowledged,\u201d Webb said, \u201cand one can either laugh or cry in contemplation and completion.
