Strawberry Soap Sculpture
Goat Milk Soap with Colorant and Fragrance Oil in recycled paper basket
Each sculpture comes with pictured green recycled paper carton and 12-17 strawberry soaps of various sizes and pigments. Soap smells like strawberries!
Inspired by Robin Wall Kimmerer's essay, "The Gift of Strawberries" from her 2016 bestselling book, Braiding Sweetgrass, I created a limited collection of white and light pink strawberry soaps for Cannonball Arts in Seattle. In the essay, Wall Kimmerer delves into the generosity that berries provide by offering themselves as food. She describes wanting strawberries to ripen immediately as child and compares her impatience to "the commodity economy has been here on Turtle Island for four hundred years, eating up the white strawberries and everything else."
At her core though, Wall Kimmerer is an optimist who believes that "people have grown weary of the sour taste in their mouths. A great longing is upon us, to live again in a world made of gifts." These sculptures are meant to serve as reminders to be generous and also patient for better things to come.
Echoing Wall Kimmerer's message that abundance is best felt when shared, I will be donating 33% of all profits to the Na’ah Illahee Fund (NIF), an Indigenous women-led organization that serves as a facilitator and resource partner to elevate Native female-centered activism and leadership in Washington State and beyond.
