~ The main bathroom is big and bright with two windows, no furniture and pristine white towels. The view from this window is of the lavender and grasses that surround the house.
A Decadent Defecation is an exhibition of new work by David Attwood that uses the luxury bathroom as a framework for exploring ideas around commodity fetishism, wealth, and shit. Sculptural assemblages that use bathroom utilities, designer accessories and popular consumables attempt to embroil the opulent with the faecal.
