Confected Character
Etched Glass, Vanilla Cake, Dark Chocolate Ganache, Fresh Raspberry Compote, Buttercream Icing, One Hundred Forks, 14' x 1' x 4', 2011.
A thin glass shelf displays the orderly collection of one hundred forks, each bearing a seductive mouthful of dessert; every crumb and bite is reflected in the luster. Illustrating a timeline of arduous weight loss, ovular plot points -stretched and bloated- are etched into the surface of the glass. Fingerprints and sticky smudges on the utensils implicate an addict; the engraving below delivers a rhythmic diagram of slow progress and swift relapse.
