Double Cleansing

The sculpture consists of a water tank from a pesticide spraying machine, which in agriculture is used to spray fields for weeds and pests. By disconnecting the tank and placing it on a stand of fence posts, it imitates a dispenser from which clean water is normally drawn. As a performative quality to the sculpture, anyone who feels an urge, can wash their hands. The work asks questions about our groundwater, the consequences of chemistry in agriculture and who is responsible.
