Oil, Soap, and Water (2010)
Oil, Soap, and Water (2010) was an installation that used Fairy washing-up soap to clean spilt canola oil floating atop water, encased in small spheres. The three elements of oil, soap, and water resemble the primary colours of the BP logo, responding to the Deep Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico from 20 Apr 2010 – 19 Sept 2010.
An installation shot of four videos on monitors and numerous spheres holding water and oil and systematically pumped with fairy washing-up liquid.
