The Whoredom

'Rotting Clean' is a series of dirty photographs taken in a bathroom and lavatory. The filth is real, and mostly human. Both live and dead spiders have made a contribution, though sloth and lethargy are the major creative forces involved here.

The Bath and Sink are in the same room, although the Toilet is in a different location but in the same house. They are all used daily and have built up a film of dead skin cells, lime scale, soap, hair, sweat and excrement.

The taps run constantly. The water has worn a path through the metal workings of the tap in the same way that a river can cut a path through a mountain. Water running from the water tank overflow has worn enamel from sections of the bath.

Polystyrene tiles peel from the Ceiling, while water and mould, slowly consume a bookcase of memories. Bacteria will rot the place clean while the bleach remains unused on the shelf. Some things are just too high to reach.
