MAKING DO RHYMES WITH POO presents an installation with a set design constructed from recycled materials (including radios, foil, cardboard, water, timber, foam, industrial bags, video projections, screens, costumes, mirrors and pulped paper shaped into poo-like sculptures), performances and an exhibition.
Through her work, Justene Williams deals with conscious and unconscious forms of labour undertaken by the body. The exhibition title reads as both a way of “making do” with what’s at one’s disposal and to describe the “making” of automatic body labour, such as defecation or growing hair and nails.
