The comments on the last idea about Holy Water were:
- Is the water running or still? (Some said running would be preferable because the role of the water is cleansing)
- Is the pipe covered with something?
- spotlights will be good.
Considering these things, here is the new idea of Holy Water.
The existing drainage pipe is covered with imitation ivy, which is painted black. Down the mouth of the pipe will be laid a flow of plaster indicating Holy Water. White color of the pipe and plaster shows continuity of the flow of Holy Water or qi. The form, texture, and B&W color are simple and chic and will not interfere in the other installations.
We will not use real water, and the water from the sink will be kept turned off during the installation. This sculpture is an indication of water and not water itself. The plaster will be mixed with water and installed before the beginning of the installation.
What we need are:
- imitation ivy: $20-30
- black spray paint: $2
- fine wire to tie the ivy to the pipe: $2
- plaster (16lb): $10
$40-50 in total
What do you think?

Just because the sink is turned off doesn’t guarantee that there is no water… that sink is a utility for the school and we need to work with the flow, it turning on and off over the days, etc.
Taizo… what is the deal with the plaster??? Why this plaster mix??? I don’t get any connection to it from anything.
i think the point is… use the water. It is reflective; it is an asset. It doesn’t need to be added to. It doesn’t need to be hidden. It needs to be enhanced.
Don’t use plaster. Don’t use plaster. Don’t use plaster.
Don’t use fake ivy. Don’t use fake ivy. Don’t use fake ivy.
Use water and metal sheets and subtle lighting.
You’re over- thinking this. Move on.
ha ha he he ho ho ho ho holy hell
why use plaster when you have a well?
I agree with all of the above! Water is a force of nature to be reckoned with! Its life. You lived in it for 9 months before you were born! It has meaning and it moves, it reflects, changes form, vaporizes, quenches, cools, and cleanses and even gurgles and sputters. Which is what I did when I read this idea.
probably you were in that water from the sink for 9 months lol
hahahaha
