Traveling through different moments in a woman’s life, she brings forth and discusses the objectification of women. Borden finds this tendency in varied states and stages from motherhood to even after children have left, seemingly exposing that even in the roles most basic there are expectations, rules, and labels that do not always fit.” Melanie Prapopoulos, Gallery Director, The CAMP Gallery, North Miami, Florida October - December 2025 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ab03f88f2e6b1d58de0f8ed/4736b7ca-d735-4094-af2a-eb202528d1f8/Irons.JPG Press “Some of the collections in the show point out that, even outside of museums and libraries, a person’s private collection can be preserving culture, whether it’s popular art from a generation ago or technology that has become outdated. Marsha Borden’s irons are less practical than modern irons in every way — for starters, how, in a modern home, would we heat them up? — but they’re also a testament to the way household objects used to be made better. The irons in Borden’s collection would work as well as they did when they were made, decades ago. Can we say the same of the iron we bought at Walmart last week?

Down the chest are three increasingly uncomfortable questions: “What if they laugh at my work? If they think I don’t know what I’m doing?
