Stoneware & Selvage

[04.25.25 - 05.23.25]

Garments, normally (and optimally) tensile become rigid, steadfast or brittle. Objects no longer to be entered by the body, exclusively to be worn by the geist of their individual tracts or schools of social assignments. Tiles are made to be easily cleaned. The subterranean room of waste removal apparatus relegated as Men’s Restroom becomes better used as a space for forgotten and discarded / unable to be discarded things, old things valued more in the past with some sort of history or utility, but no longer really needed. The private becomes communal, whether it is seen or not, it is now as it has been. Bathrooms used to be more communal, like most places. Now, a space holding things that ask not to be forgotten, or asking that those things they memorialize too be remembered. Bury what is pure, make it unmoving and strong so it may be that way for eternity.
