Washed Your Hands? -
Inspired by the concept of white and guilt and the feeling following the 2020 Black Lives Matter Protests these soap bars are designed to make viewers consider whether society has forgotten and moved on from events that swept the world. Currently presented in my own bathroom this would. be best as an exhibition piece in a ‘white box’ gallery so that the addition of the sink would be an anomaly that draws in viewers and sparks a discussion.
This piece is designed to be touched and soaps taken home, viewers have a stronger connection to the work when they can feel the grooves of the names pressed into their hands as they wash them. It serves as a reminder of what we as a society need to do.
