The Art of Food (2023)
December 1, 2023–January 1, 2024
Food is nourishment, culture, memory, ritual, labor, and creative material. The Art of Food explores how meals and ingredients carry history and tradition, how culinary practices become symbols, and how images of decadent desserts, fast food, and home-cooked dinners can operate as social commentary. These works ask what food reveals about the people who make, share, consume, and photograph it.

8-Course Meal
8-Course Meal is an experimental video essay on consumption media and media consumption, structured via rules and rhythms. A chaotic assortment of media hides a narrative structured via a heavy set of guidelines. The composition takes three separate panels: The first shows food presentation, predominantly within commercial setting. The second shows food consumption via both educational and commercial media. Meant to mirror the rules and rhythms of our consumption flow throughout a coursed meal, or our day, or the course of our lifetime, 8-Course Meal is an experiment in consumption of media on consumption.
Fox and Isla
This animated digital artwork reflects on my daughter's relationship with our pet rooster, Fox, and their shared passion for cake. Our hens supply the eggs she uses for her baking, but in return demand a share of the produce. It explores the merging of the digital with the analogue, both in terms of art-making and the real-world pursuits of my children and their friends. The soundtrack is derived entirely from recordings of our hens.
