Urinals

A group of works belonging to various series - Showers, Washbasins and Urinals - in which Joana Vasconcelos adds colourful crocheted elements to household sanitary ware. Resorting to crochet, Joana refers to the intimacy of the domestic realm through its link to female labour, who work from home and for the home. Textiles infiltrate and/or cover up ceramics and metal. These coloured, smooth, and pliable additions contrast with the hard, sterile coldness of the sanitary ware’s material be it aluminum, or porcelain. The disruptive process of transformation encourages a fresh look at these everyday objects and intimacy.
