Abstract
The politics of local versus global food infiltrates our homes and kitchens daily . Much of the population is completely unaware of the distance that their food must travel . Many of the choices that we make about food are automatic . We are trained at very young age to eat three meals a day . But the duration and purpose of our meals has changed drastically in the last century . Our fast paced culture forces us to gobble down frozen , canned and pre-packaged food without thought of quality or taste . So one might ask , why should we care about where our food comes from and when and where we eat it ? My market installation , digital prints , artist books , video of my urban gardening and sculpture (in the form of jars of fruit and vegetables that I have preserved) seeks to provoke awareness of the urgency of such questions in contemporary life .
