last term i aligned myself with the activism pod. i want to carry this through to this project but also use the confessional art influence in my work to push for people to be more open to have conversations arounds food and difficult relationships.

I want to aim to make my work as inclusive and accessible to a majority who want to engage with it. I feel that my role as a (kind of) activist is to make my work as grabbing as possible to invite contemplation and change, hopefully.

within the last 20 years theres been a huge boom of "confessional" "bare all" tv shows, articles and art. Our obsessions with knowing everything about each others lives feeds into our own need to be accepted. Confessional art for myself is a moment of reflection in visual form.
food is a particular interest of mine as the way its portrayed in media is constantly paradoxical. Its shown to be something we should share with people but also equally portray as something we should be shameful for and do in private. this particular narration is usually attached to woman’s relationships and portrayals of food.

In my project i am focusing on the complex relationship i have with food. i will be exploring wider contexts that hold huge relevance in food culture such as media, feminism, food politics and mental health. my aim is to use the vehicle of confessional art as a visual form of redemption for myself and my relationship with food. I want to portray how multifaceted particularly womens relationships with food are within the modern day by creating multiple characters that encompass the huge variety of emotions that go into food and have them all dine together. Although a dense and very weighted subject i hope through sharing my experience i will engage with audiences to contemplate there own consideration of food.
