~ The main bathroom is big and bright with two windows, no furniture and pristine white towels. The view from this window is of the lavender and grasses that surround the house.

A Decadent Defecation uses the luxury bathroom as a microcosm for exploring ideas around commodity fetishism, wealth, intimacy, morality and shit. Sculptural assemblages that use bathroom utilities, designer accessories and popular consumables attempt to embroil the opulent with the faecal.
