I've continued to work with issues of food for most of the time that I've been here in Ann Arbor and the piece I created for our first year show, In Order of Appearance, is an example of that. It is a giant sticker from a vine-ripened tomato blown up to 75" x 50".
In critique last week the general feeling seemed to be that I didn't commit to one specific cause or goal with this piece and because of that the purpose is unclear to the viewer. It's true that I am concerned with many issues related to food culture in the world today and maybe that is the reason that the sticker doesn't seem to have a clear purpose.
I plan to install the piece publicly, but haven't really figured out where yet. The location is something that I hope will help to ground the purpose a bit.
For anyone that is in the Ann Arbor area, come check out our first year MFA show at the Warren Robbins Gallery in the U of M Art and Architecture Building. The opening is this Friday, February 6th from 5 - 8pm. See you there!
