Created and installed in a 500 year old laundry building in Passy, France, Le Lavoir employs silhouettes of women washing clothes in different poses. These are suspended between linen bed sheets borrowed from people in the village and installed on top is a soaker hose that with a pump, soaks the sheets creating a cool, ethereal environment with droplets of sound reverberating in the water below. Drawings of under garments were created in pencil, charcoal, cement wash from the terroir and wild flower pigments.
