earlier work > residue

In this work I mail a bar of soap with which I have bathed and washed myself to a friend or acquaintance. In the package I request that they use the bar of soap to wash with. The instructions on the index card read:
"It is (date). I have used the soap in this package to clean my body. Please take a shower and wash yourself with this soap. When you feel clean and ready, please mail this package with the soap to someone else. If the soap you receive is too small to send to someone else, please send it back to me. Thank you."

A work that accumulates significance (a history of engagement) while it sheds presence.
