Use Value examines soap as sculptural materal, object of memory and as functional object. During exhibitions at UC Davis Memorial Union Gallery and The Brewery Los Angeles visitors were invited to vote on the future function of the artwork. By vote the work was returned to its original function as soap and donated to a homeless shelter.
