Shower Study

“Taking a shower is simultaneously a conscious and subconscious action. We wash our hair, face and body in generally the same fashion and routine from day to day. And it is this pattern that allows the shower to become more than a physical act. Your mind can travel anywhere in the shower, making each one an entirely unique experience.”

These images depict both our movement within the confines of a shower stall (5’x3’) as well as the transient nature of the event. We twist, turn, bend, reach, rub and rinse in a small space without feeling claustrophobic. The shower is a temporal space and our emotional and physical connection to this space are intimate.

Brad - i like these redrawings accompanied by the shower photos. time and movement are depicted. the description of how travel can happen while engaged in repetitive activity in a confined space is a good relationship to buld upon.
