    "Dust Houses"
    Sculpture: Nov 1, 2005
    When Colombian Maria Adelaida Lopez moved to Philadelphia do a Masters degree in art,
    she cleaned houses to help support herself, as she says, the way many other Marias do.
    Her series of Dust Houses are toy doll houses covered over in vacuum cleaner lint,
    representing the themes of domesticity and the other, the ideas of cleaning up after
    oneself and putting ones house in order. Now an artist and educator in Miami, Lopez no
    longer cleans for others, but has filled vacuum cleaner bags given to her.
    Artist: Maria Adelaida Lopez
