• Artist Statement

  This piece was influence by the unequal distribution of resources around our world. Often times in our Western society, we consider take out as a mundane meal. In reality, we are extremely fortunate to have this type of ready access to food, as many live in poverty. This can be shown through the hands, cutlery, flowers, and take out boxes resting on a table top composed of images of starving and impoverish children. The dimensions are 2ft x 4ft and the materials I used are acrylic paint, collage images, real take out boxes, and a plywood board for my canvas.
