| Summary: | For a while now I’ve been interested in the role that food plays in the interaction between individuals and groups of people. In my own home growing up I learned to love food and the gatherings that food facilitated, especially family meal-times. I more recently developed the desire to look further into how food affects our lives. For my ORCA project I wanted to observe interactions surrounding food in homes different from my own. I was curious about cultural similarities and differences, and wondered what I could learn in others homes that would influence my artwork as well as my own kitchen. A couple of acquaintances in New Zealand agreed to work with me this last summer. My goal was to observe the preparation and eating of meals in their homes, respond with a body of artwork, and present the artwork in a show for others to interact with. |
