Modern conveniences and technology have altered the home professing quality of life for all and freedom to pursue ones dreams.  Interestingly, these interweaving forces have not merely reshaped contemporary female roles.

It has become apparent that our culture is radically shifting to accommodate lifestyle choices. I find this change in social structure both fantastic and disheartening.   Most of us would not relinquish our dishwashers, fast food, television, cell phones, or internet because these products purport convenience and connection.  This is where my current body of work begins. 

The kitchen arose as a theme primarily because in my childhood, and to this day, food and meal preparation is an integral part of my family. There is time involved and proximity is close.  The processes of food preparation are respected and coveted. Desserts are made from scratch and recipes may be generations old.  Mealtime has been the setting for many an argument, condolences, praises, and congratulations. In my work, I hope to address the idea that the ingredients and tools of the kitchen, that sustain us physically and emotionally, are becoming obsolete.
