FOOD INSTALLATIONS
Food can be complicated, though I wish it wasn’t. When I was a kid, food was just fun. Treats were guilt free. There was no shame in having ice cream dripping down my chin. It was a time of blanket forts and getting lost in my imagination. Then diet culture killed my vibe, twisting me into a disordered eating mess. Food devoid of emotion does not deliver contentment. This work supports a future where I have healed my relationship with food and have returned to a personal consumption philosophy of playful indulgence, deep comfort, and joyous celebration.
Pig Out was a collaboration with artist Kara J. Stallings where we transformed a gallery into a domestic living space for two pig characters. This was a project saturated in experimental joy and the exploration of food as a matrix of comfort. Most everything in the gallery was edible or made with food as the primary substrate.
