My final project came about through quite a process. My initial thoughts were color and food. Why foods are the color they are, how they become that way. Despite research, this lead me to no end, and... it was just too separated from the food itself. Nutrition and the form and functions of food became my focus. Juicing nutrient dense foods produced some rich and bold colors. I utilized this natural pigment and made paper bowls using the vegetable fiber and pure vegetable juice to dye both the bowl and the place mat it sits upon. I paired the bowl with a glass of it's own juice and a wooden spoon. The sights as well as the smells of the installation are more than a give away of the piece's origin. Each place setting is layers of the same food in different forms. The authentic color and natural differences in each process create dimension with texture and line.
