The Meal.

For this assignment I was inspired by Gregg Moore and historic European dishes. Moore makes berry baskets (containers that are typically disposable) with porcelain. I am really interested by the persistence of an object despite its purpose to be disposable. The environment is suffering because the ‘out of sight out of mind’ mentality associated with human waste.

 Historic European dishes make such a big deal about everything. The designs and structures are fussy and delicate that you don’t even want to use the vessels, or you don’t possess the precious baby hands it requires to utilize them.

For my meal I want to make disposable food containers adorned with swirly, delicate nonsense. My hope is to make a big deal out of typically uncelebrated and insignificant meals. (I'm not done sketching the swirly delicate nonsense, so chill.)
