Toilet Paper Cake, 2013

View more photographs and detail images of the installation here.

This sculptural installation utilizes a specific baby shower trope to expand on the concept of privacy in female childhood and the process of growing up. The sculptural piece is based on the “diaper cake”, a common baby shower gift that is constructed of folded diapers and baby items such as pacifiers and toys to form the shape of a cake, and uses the inherent tackiness and craftiness of the typical diaper cake to situate itself strangely within a gallery setting. The traditional diaper cake celebrates the beginning of a life whereas my piece celebrates a more transitional, and mostly very private, phase in adolescence – potty training. Becoming potty-trained signifies a moment in which one’s genitals are for the first time private and toilet paper is the symbol of this part of life, much like diapers are the symbol of the beginning. The strange feminine quality of toilet paper designs is brought to light in this piece by putting them on display in a ridiculous manner eliminating privacy, something arguably more rampant in female bathroom etiquette seen in the differences between the urinal and the bathroom stall as well as in how menstruation is treated. In a way, the “cake” ages as it grows upwards seen in how the items attached start at soft dolls, then change to makeup and feminine napkins, and ends at the top with a chaotic and very sexual take on the traditional cake-topper.
