Nourish: food & the body
April 8-22, 2022
The Lawrence University Mudd Gallery
This series of images captures the artist’s body as they see it and the aspects that they focus on. The poems are written using recipes from the artist’s life, both those cooked for them as a child and those they have cooked for themself as they transition into adulthood. These recipes shaped the body in the accompanying photographs. Black out poetry allows the artist to reconstruct the narrative of the recipes and their impact on the body.
Just as the body is constantly changing, so is art and these images are not tied to specific poems.
