Painter and a conceptual artist called her piece “In the flowers”.

Where did you look for the inspiration and how did the creation itself go?

I imagined where one would most preferably go “take a dump”. The nature, and the flowers win in my taste. Most preferably the ones which won’t scratch you with nothing dangerous lurking inside. Also, they should be pretty so that even our “poo” enjoys them. The creation was very smooth and joyful!

How high would you like the actual bid for your potty to be at the auction?

 It would please me very much if my potty was sold for at least 20 000 CZK.

Do you know the Museum of Hygiene, which besides being the largest one in the world is now regularly involved in various charity events?

I know the museum and I admire it.

Do you know the ´Premature babies and their families´ endowment fund, to which the proceeds from the auctioned pots will be donated?

I do now, thanks to this project.

Have you ever encountered this problem in your life?

I was born prematurely myself.

Do you have any “potty” story of your own?

I can vaguely remember a plastic one from my childhood, which I did not like. It was not until my visit to your museum that I saw the beautiful ones.
