Our belongings, hence the name, belong to us. Do we ever think that they long
not to be? I make my work with found textiles and soap. Collecting them from
various places in my environment. I soak the textiles with melted soap. It sinks
into the fibres and hardens until it becomes one, a new humanlike object,
resembling the texture of skin and flesh. Soap symbolises the human body as it
condenses. Resembling the human skin as it cracks and sweats. Creating an
intimate, non-human, human-like artwork. I nudge towards a more respectful,
loving relationship with our intimate objects. Seeing all objects, human or
non-human, as equals. I transform these textiles into one of us, our own kin.
