FOOD FOR THOUGHT
My mixture of interests in food, womens rights, Greek mythology, ancient artifacts, today's Domestic Goddess, and the narratives hidden within the domestic environment has lead me to develop a unique style of contemporary art to relay the subversive texts within these interests.
This body of work called Food For Thought looks at the rituals,seduction, romantic notions, and power that reside in the domestic kitchen. The intention for these carefully knitted, and beaded sculptures is to seduce the viewer, to entice due to their detail and considered construction.
The choice of colour and material allude to safety and comfort, yet within the sculptures of Food For Thought these elements are invested with new reference, and are utalized to generate a more challenging discussion.
