Pill Bottles
2013
“Women have been hiding their alcohol and pills throughout history. Peddlers came through town in their horse and wagons selling elixir (aka booze) as an all-purpose remedy, alongside pots and pans and pretty ribbons. In the ‘60s, diet pills were speed, and could help one get the house clean before the husband came home. Sherry in the evening was sherry, but it was drunk in polite company and came in crystal glasses. Today, my husband and I take a combined 10 prescription pills a day. I have been saving the empty bottles and transforming them. My Pill Bottles are like fancy perfume bottles and would look much nicer on a bedroom table than a regular prescription bottle.”
