TEXT
The title Plenty is taken from renowned chef and author Yotam Ottolenghi’s bestselling cookbook. Through sculpture, video and text, the works reinterpret various household items and reflect upon their function and their distribution. Food for thought: aspirational living compels consumers to endlessly trade the old for the new; capitalist individualism results in the reproduction en masse of the same; and cultivation of good conscience consumption is the psychic equivalent of waste management.
