Tasting Progress tells a story of my culinary progress throughout the last 10 years of my life.
Project — Exhibition
Objective — Create work that represents you
Duration — 4 months
Process — Facing an exhibition with minimal constraints presented an additional challenge in brainstorming my concept. While I was certain about incorporating food, I struggled to crystallize my vision. My initial thought was to craft abstract images of various dishes, but that didn't seem to encompass the profound influence of food and cooking on my life. Seeking guidance, I engaged with my TA, who suggested the use of transfer sheets as a medium—a turning point for my project. However, the journey with transfer sheets introduced its own set of technical complications. At times, the transfer onto the plates was incomplete or plagued by pesky air bubbles within the solution, posing frustrations and jeopardizing the outcome. In the end, my approach merged transfer sheets with ceramic plates, resulting in three lifelike dishes symbolizing pivotal cooking milestones that have significantly shaped my personal journey.
