Table Manners

"My current body of work investigates our relationship to food, and more specifically our disassociation to the production of animal products and our disconnect to animals as food. My practice has been influenced by growing up on a farm in the rural prairies of Manitoba, travel, personal memories and family history. I use the abject to create unpleasant, uncomfortable and surreal pieces about our food consumption, causing a breakdown of borders between self and other. My work explores a side of consumption and excess most of us would prefer to ignore, hide away and pretend as though it doesn't exist."
