We’re heading back into the archives for this food themed Top 5. This Supertramp song isn’t technically about food, but there’s “nothing better to do” than eat.
When: Tues, Thurs, and Sat. 12 – 6pm through October 17th Where: Paradigm Gallery + Studio
Abby Elizabeth’s pieces in this exhibit explore the modern, subsidized agriculture industry and its effect on young children through images created from thousands of grains of rice, barley, wheat, corn kernals, and children’s toys. In her words; “People eat food. The way that food gets to our plates is often neglected in our daily quest to eat it. When you consider the amount of people eating food on our planet, individual choices matter quite a bit. How we get food has a direct impact on the viability of our planet and what we eat dictates the market forces in play. These works mark my exploration into our convenient yet complicated and pernicious food system.”
