There has always been a link between art and food. Dutch Golden Age paintings, Cezanne’s apples, The Futurists Cookbook, to Rirkrit Tiravanija's Pad Thai; cooking and dining are essential to everyone. Everyday things that get left behind have their own story to tell. While making dinner one night, I noticed the eggshells, cartons, and kitchen scraps on the counter. These sculptures are portraits of food. They serve as moments in a limnal space, and are tableaux of domestic life.
