The title may indicate exactly what it is. It’s a bathroom door. It’s just a found door that could well be that of a neighbour if it weren’t for the mysterious objects attached to it. In a whole series of sculptures of the artist, a kind of organic mass, like a fungal attack or a lichen, stretches across the surfaces. This moves the sculptures into the field of biological fauna, where not the artist is taking control but rather nature and an organic growth process. The bathroom door has large bulges made from Ostrich eggs that sit on the surface like shells or plants. The whole surface of the door seems to be an acting ground for two musicians, small wooden figures in some rural folkloric carving technique. Might be a strange but humorous guy, the neighbour.
