Full Moon Pickles

About me

Location	Los Angeles, CA
Introduction	I am an artist and a cook. I make pickles. These practices inform each other. I aim to negotiate a synthesis between my formal aesthetics, my social practice project of pickling, my day job as a caterer. As an artist, I am looking at the way that an object can signify a larger social, political history -- the discursive field that surrounds it. This is how I think about pickles. Often artists obscure the labor we do for pay, which can be very distinct from the labor we do for art-making. Artists, caterers and picklers are expected to professionalize, to have a product that is readily consumable. In the tradition of artists like Mierle Laderman Ukeles and Gordon Matta-Clark, I hope that this blog, and this art that I practice, can blur those distinctions and in so doing, make something that is critical, joyful and improvisational. Follow me!
