Initially I chose a scrub brush because I thought the texture of the sponge was interesting, and would be fun to cast. While I was right, in the process of creating these castings, I also began thinking heavily about the purpose of these items, and the futility of cleaning.
While it is always good to not stink and have somewhere clean to eat, in the end all things fall victim to decay. This futility is what I focused on for this installation, displaying a mess that needs cleaning, with tools that simply could not perform their intended function; a brush that couldn't have scrubbed anything clean, and a spray bottle that couldn't have sprayed the walls with cleaning fluid.
