Having taken part in a research response to the old Gardiner Haskins building, a previous soap factory, in Bristol; my work is featured in the publication, Place: Soapworks which is available to visitors at the Centre of Gravity exhibition in Bristol from 2-25 October.
I created a durational black and white film Whitewash in two parts. The first is simply a film of hand washing and the water going down the drain - so relevant during a pandemic but symbolic of our economy and value system, the suds slowly dissolve like an eroding iceberg. The second recalls the sales room products documenting the duration of a washing machine program, running empty, which when projected like a ghost in the derelict department store echoes our dystopian present.
