Breakfast
Breakfast is a very special, celebrated, and important moment of the day in my life. My parents put a lot of emphasis on sharing breakfast together while we were growing up. I have carried the tradition of this important meal into my adult life, in my friendships and relationships, always putting emphasis on our shared mornings together. In observing breakfast from this perspective, some interesting things started to happen. Questioning, and noting, domestic positions in the kitchen, and the importance of specific objects to set the tone of the morning. There are patterns, habits, and roles that if not played correctly, can ruin the whole ceremony. When cards are played right and everything is in harmony, you are each given the gift of a full tummy and an elated mood for the rest of the day.
I have been considering this part of my day through drawing, painting, ceramic and textiles, for about a year, each looking at different parts of the ritual, and considering different elements of my association to breakfast.
