Washing Machine Madness

Image
After the success of  DOMESTIC DISHARMONY I wanted to keep pushing myself in the same direction but even bigger, and with another important show coming up in London in May I wanted a true statement piece. My mind instantly went to the planning of the big house appliances, at first I wanted to make a bath out of wax, but baths have been used by others on my course and in art history and I wanted to create something different from the rest. For some reason the thought of a wax washing machine stood out to me, but different to my previous pieces I wanted to incorporate some aspect of the body, an imprint in the wax.  The piece is not yet finished but hopefully will be done in the next couple of weeks once the uni workshops are open again, it will then be shown in my next upcoming show 'No Fit State'  The photos below show the progress I have made so far and the process to making all the individual pieces that once assembled will create the washing machine...
