Indeed that worn linoleum and carpet of "Untitled" (2006) and "Untitled" (2011) suggest that domesticity is a kind of simultaneous wearing away of the substrate, and an accumulation of signs (stains and tears) that indicate use by a particular set of people in a particular time.

The snow's groans as it's stepped on; a mop's slop-sound as it cleans a dingy linoleum floor; the gelatinous fight a casserole puts up as it's dished out; the whooshing one's arms make in a parka; the heavy clunk of a police badge on a wooden kitchen table.

Deacon is a creator—or fabricator, to use his favored term for himself—of disconcerting objects of variable size (from small to monumental) and unpredictable design (airily looping, glumly massy) made of materials that have included, by turn or in combination, wood, steel, iron, ceramic, plastic, linoleum, and leather.
In her exhibition Brenda Goodman: In a New Space at DAVID&SCHWEITZER Contemporary (September 8 – October 1, 2017), she uses a linoleum cutter on wooden hollow core doors or, in the case of paper, an ice pick, to incise the surface, or, more accurately, to scar the work's skin.

I was working as a cook and broke as fuck, and so what you did was you went drinking on Division Street, where there were all of these just really crappy bars with peeling linoleum floors and swinging fluorescent lights, and people in there drinking till 6 AM. It wasn't nice, but it was cheap.
I loved everything about the place: the pictures of movie stars like Jimmy Cagney lining the wall; the hint of tonic and talcum in the air; the sound of a broom against the linoleum as it swept clippings between cuts; the soundtrack: Frank Sinatra to Motown to Van Morrison, almost always accompanied by John's humming.
In "Window Dressing: Background 4, Apron VI" (2003/07), the central garment is as reminiscent of a stylized samurai jinbaori as it is an apron, and the background, which features a circular opening and white gridded wallpaper, equally suggests the vintage linoleum tiles of an American kitchen or the sliding paper screens of a traditional Japanese house.
Countering the online health gurus is especially difficult when they offer the irresistible cocktail of medical language muddled with a much more pleasing aesthetic than medicine, far from the clinical world of linoleum and antiseptic, a better place where patients' conditions are diagnosed with metaphors ("adrenal fatigue") and treated with poetry (holy basil, bone broth, Himalayan sea salt).
