​Shower
The Process Residency 2013

PS Mirabel Gallery, Manchester, UK.

The cubical space was very much the starting point for this piece, it's height, width and of course its previous function as a shower, all began the thought process for the installation. Having said that, to the greater extent the piece came together very organically. As I mentioned previously  I had already been experimenting with passing various materials through paper shredders.
This included paper plates and plastic cups; I also had a box of receipt rolls which i had experimented with but was saving for a special project like this one. Putting all 3 components together, the space, the shredder and the paper rolls, allowed the piece to almost create itself. 

Initially the shower of paper cascaded into a waste paper bin, but I allowed it to overwhelm this and form the escalating mound shown in the images above.
