The bread table
2008
The essential goal of the project is to create a communal table where people may come together and experience a collective remembering of place. In the consumption of the bread our individual memories and associations with each particular place are brought to the table and shared through the sensory experience of eating. The project is an attempt to narrow the gap between experience and memory and appeals to the universal human desire to recall, retell, and communicate. The breaking of bread encourages a sensory understanding of specific ecological histories and connects the table with an often overlooked process that is central to our culinary history.
