Notes on Service! Piece

Sometimes Less is more. I notice this week or the past few weeks things have been chaotic. I’ve been working on this small series of three related to the idea of fine dinning and food. Often I’ve used the metaphor of being a chef or cooking in relationship to being creative and generating art. This image is a mixture of Lino carving and digital collage (photoshop) which I turned into a screen print. I printed on fabric and singed the edges.

The piece is definitely inspired by a famous chef and I wanted to make a piece for myself that makes me think of being of Service creatively. I think that occupies a specific space where I can pursue my interests and creative integrity and you know make shit for others too. What do I wanna cook? What would I serve myself and how can I be of service. Where can I create Value?

I was trying to be extra and do all this shit, but sometimes you just gotta do what’s right for the context. Meet the goals.

I’m going to keep developing the other pieces and this one is done. I think I got some of the energy that goes into the kitchen and some of the energy you use to move the kitchen forward.
