A Slice of the Everyday
The idea behind this work came about from spending hours, preparing many meals for a family of seven! Sometimes the act of preparing a meal can be monotonous, other times the repetition can become a moment of relaxation, regardless, it is repeated day in, day out.
To highlight these two polarised effects, the detail of the action has been performed and encapsulated in a direct surface print. These were created in to screen prints, to exaggerate the repetition. A mixture of natural (beetroot), and procion dyes have been painted/printed.
The pieces are hung in such a way that allows the projected film of meal preparation to have a layered quality, capturing a slice of the everyday.
