Gloves, Headphones and Soap

Abstract

This article is a creative reflection on the simple act of washing dishes, encouraging readers to grasp the sensory complexity of acts that are part of our daily life. I have identified five sections of analysis: location, touch, hearing, movement and time perception. To explain these I use different methods including diagrams, vignettes and photographs. Through the use of visual representations I hope to transmit my sensory experience of washing dishes as closely as possible.
