The Process of Eating and Being Eaten, 2021

[Eating raw bread dough and drinking milk, alongside a sculpture covered in 600 pieces of my chewed gum, latex tableware, and plaster/aluminum deer hooves].

The performance as a response to bodily trauma ignited from a past eating disorder. Eating the dough represented the feeling of eating food during and after the disorder.
Chewing the gum as a reconciling for the fear of chewing, I forced myself to chew and to keep chewing.
I used the performative work as an alternate perspective on my past illness, to re-frame the emotions and sensations and channel it through the artwork. To re-live the sensations in a new context.
