Culinary Memoirs
In the Culinary Memoirs series I capture moments from my table. These works become markers for recollection and remembrance. They honor the beauty of the ingredients while still evoking a darker sense of temporary pleasures and fleeting tastes. By capturing these moments I explore how my personal history can become part of a larger, shared, cultural context.
