Pure Finder” is a goat hide-shaped rug created for the prayer room at Glen Foerd. It depicts workers engaged in the long and strenuous process of refining leather at the Vici Kid factory. The title of the piece comes from “pure,” which is a polite name for dog and pigeon feces, an essential ingredient in removing hair from hide. A “pure finder” historically made a living searching for feces and selling it to tanners.
