Still Life With Fruit, 2016

This video and photographic series introduces inanimate objects for dough to interact with, allowing the dough to claim its environment as it rises out of & around objects that it eventually consumes. Placed within the tradition of still life to represent birth, growth, time, sexuality, emotional and physical relationships, body limits, aging, death and decay, the video series captures the dough rising in real time, while the photographic series captures moments of ‘decay’.
