Old bars of soap and overly-used sponges … that are porcelain! Gasp! This is the magically mundane work of Australian artist Honor Freeman, and these are her words:
“Noticing and quietly commemorating the smaller moments that are a constant rhythm of the everyday continues to be a preoccupation in my work. I seek to make visible the relationship between us and the objects we use, the gestures, mundane activities and humble objects, like small markers silently measuring the hours and marking the days. Thoughts of preserving, measuring and marking time’s passing occupy the work during the making. There is a correlation between actions and gestures used when engaging with objects and those used during the process of making that informs the work.”
Lovely.
Oh man! In love with these! Love the celebrating of the beauty of the mundane and such wonderful textures, pastels and shapes
agree, agree, agree! : )

Amazing work!

Porcelain! I’m in love with these pretty pastelly porcelain soaps!
OMG! I thought they were photography! This brings back a memory of renters leaving their soap in our beach cottage outdoor shower.
Couldn’t believe it was not real soap! I love her choice to celebrate the every day things in her work!
