​ a performance hosted  by the Grandma Collective
I use bread making as a platform for discussion and collaboration. I have connected with people I never would have spoken to, as they share their memories of making bread with their mothers, grandmothers, fathers, children. It serves as an interview, loosely formatted, between my bread making partner and myself. As we mix the ingredients, we share techniques passed down through loved ones. As the bread rises, we can elaborate on the nuances of our associations, and as we eat it, we enjoy the fruits of our labor and each other’s company. ​
More about The Grandma Collective
While paying homage to our grandmothers, we seek to create an art space free from pretension of the art world, with an open dialogue. The Grandma Collective is a group of artists in a mutualistic symbiotic relationship; communally laboring to create bright, playful works that allow adults to escape to childhood- a sense of wonder, of fun, of fearless inter-human connection. While I try to create objects permitting adults to feel joy and excitement, my performance work is centered around the experiences of people and the ways we can all improve from working as a unit. I strongly believe in elevating the salon to the same level of importance of an exhibition.
