what food means to me

this is not something i would normally post, but for this project i'm sorting through my relationship with food. not just what i enjoy eating or basic consuming, but what i really love about food. 

The texture on my tongue and in my hands as i cook, the sounds, 
the colors.

bought a cotton/linen table cloth from a local vintage store and
the plan is to embroider.

i love John Cage's relationship with food. just a little bit of research i 
wanted to share.

Winter Gear

over the course of a year i think of garments that would make life a little more comfortable.  the past two years winter gear has been the focus, especially with outdoor year round cycling.  This is the outer layer of a hood made from recycled plastic bags, thread, electrical tape, and two zippers that i've been carrying with me since i can't even remember. it's a work in progress, and currently a more sculptural than functional piece, but i plan on fixing that the next day my lovely guinea pig who i am making it for has a day off.

Orthodox Jewish Wedding

this is the second wedding i've attempted to document, and a friend asked me to put some images up on the blog. It was an extremely lively and interesting experience, difficult to capture in an image. here are a few caught moments.
