THE   Public   toilet   project

A  project  about  Private  spaces  in  public  places

This project seeks to explore, understand and highlight 
the role of these spaces and how we use them to connect to others and ourselves.

​Artwork was created from the raw 'data'. 

Each artwork represents themes that the data could be grouped into.
Themes included: Banal, Rude and Crude, Expressing Feelings, Funny, Leaving your mark, Philosophical, Sexual expression, Feedback, Politics, Religion, Gender and sexuality.

Happenings 

​When people discovered that this was for an art project they were excited to have contributed and asked deep questions about what it was for and what I was finding.

I became a de facto 'confessional' for what people thought of and had done (or still did) in public toilets.
​Sleeping, sexual acts, crying, meditating, time away from their children, a moment of peace, a moment of rest were all topics shared with me.
