Nightmare in the Bathroom

My outdoor piece for 2008 is entitled 'Nightmare in the Bathroom' and reflects my own personal experiences of home improvement and plumbing. It is made entirely of recycled materials, specifically a sink pedestal and copper piping taken from my bathroom renovation project as well as some unused expanding polyurethane foam.

The form of my piece implies the plumbing in this non-specific bathroom has taken on a mind of it's own, and while it contains the potential for more destruction throughout the house, it remains sardonic and amusing in nature.
