Whilst on the artist-in-residence in Beijing we used bottled water for all our drinking, which was a bit of a shock as we couldn’t just drink out of the tap.  After smelling the water that goes into the washing machine and the sink, we also used bottled water for cooking.  Our water use was queried, and we were asked not to use bottled water for cooking, which we could not bring ourselves to do. As a result, I had a new appreciation of just how much water we use in our everyday cooking. This artwork represents another aspect of how we very quickly our water usage mounts up.
