Cooking, harvesting, family, friends, recipes, cultural and religious traditions all inform aspects of our common tables. It is in the recalling and telling of our stories that we find these commonalities.
A 4 channel sound piece in the exhibition was compiled from interviews and anonymous voice recordings collected as a result of requests made via email and printed invitations left in public spaces. The invitation was to share a story involving food and other people, a memorable experience, a family tradition, etc., by leaving a recording on a voice mail system.
