Art and food have long criss-crossed into each other’s spaces –sometimes quietly, sometimes boldly. Though not traditionally seen as related, food and art commonly occupy the same environments, with food represented in art – or even as art – in the gallery, the kitchen, the home and restaurant.
Food as sustenance, food as part of the quotidian, food as something silly, sacred, soothing. Food as a thread to family, community, care. Food as a burden, as a chore, as the quiet demand we face each day in order to survive. Food as presence and absence. Food (in)security. Food deserts (or was it just desserts?) and food swamps.
