| Abstract: | Relish the Lick is a series of collages of human and animal bodies that explore
the emotional frictions of interpersonal relationships that begin around the kitchen
table. The images’ ambiguous narratives are revealed within the composition of the
figures themselves, which are predominantly constructed of food imagery. This
work calls into question how people physically and emotionally feed off each other.
Archetypal relationships, hierarchies of power and vulnerability, beauty and the
grotesque, as well as dinner and dessert play parts in this visual theater. Organized
in nearly empty environments, providing the most minimal of contexts, these stories
are anywhere and everywhere. This MFA thesis document discusses the images
created for Relish the Lick and reflects on the artistic, cultural, and textual influences
for this body of work. |
