The Taps, 2020

Anastasia Baker’s project - The Taps, 2020 - originated from the repetitive, daily need to document every tap that the artist encountered. This documentation aimed to control anxious feeling triggered by household taps. Through this act, the artist has built up an archive of images, making the tap into a personal and symbolic motif of the artist’s anxiety. The final body of work Untitled (Self-Portrait) 2020, is a large size colour digital print from The Taps. The work has been installed at 237.8 cm x 168.2 cm. The content of the work is a photograph of a re-photographed image of a domestic tap. As a scrunched-up singular photograph, the object is worn, fragmented and aims to deconstruct the fear that exists and deconstruct the artists’ anxiety. This final image now exists as a document to demonstrate the power of art in aiding resolution of mental health issues.
