The work is part of an ongoing series in which I collect soap remnants from the female side of my family and cast them in bronze. This sculpture was installed in the gallery’s bathroom, where the bronze reacted with the humid environment and patinated over time. The work functions as an anti-monument, preserving the everyday, the intimate and the ephemeral within a traditionally monumental material. The series explores care labour, inheritance and materiality.
