Flush Fountain

How can I mess with an everyday space at OCAD? What can I do to make people stop and think?
And it hit me…
This is my design for my Creative Process and Research class, taught by Lyn Carter at OCAD.
It required us to take a space at the University and somehow create an installation piece by changing the space and its function. Using plaster and chizzling away at my mold for 3 days, my “stop and thinker” came to life.


The first steps required us to take a photo of the space, and draw directly on it using paint and marker.
From there, the design of molding carbdboard to hold paster was created…and so on.

How do we use water? How clean is the water we drink from our fountains? I love tap water, I’d rather drink tap water then any bottled water out there…but how safe am I? How safe are you?
The toilet design does make people smile as they walk by. I have observed the reactions of faculty and students as they gaze over and laugh, smirk, stop..and sometimes worry.
Cheers to your next glass of the good stuff.
