Photographer Frances Andrijich's unusual fascination with the clothesline has made the world just a little brighter.

This book not only notices clotheslines. It showcases them. Contemplates them.Celebrates them.Drags them from the back blocks to centre stage, to take their rightful place in the sun. Retro-kitschy-cult-classic crossed with post-feminist whimsy wedded to an unimpeachable aesthetic.
