my first bath submarine

study for washing powder sculpture

Winner for the Bizanos public art call.
A boat made of washing powder will be launched on september 2012

Bizanos is a town with an social and economic history based on the washing industry.
There were a lot of washerwoman working along the river and also tons and tons of washing powder thrown away to the river.
Nowadays, the washerwoman are sick of this.
They don’t want to do anymore washing, rubbing, wringing, rinsing, drying...
They just dream of foreign lands but the only thing that they are used to work with is washing powder.
I will took them some so as to build for them a boat.
Will it be an kind of Noah’s Ark or a just galley?
