For Immediate Release: The Artist Sustainability Project Presents - The Red Herring

Coming Soon... Drawing attention to recession times the piece is called “The Red Herring: cé nest pas un a restaurant,” inspired by the Magritte painting, “This is not a pipe.” In a time when we are all talking about creating jobs, the work is a performative sculpture activated by the patrons, presented in a five-course restaurant style experience including video and live character actors.

The Red Herring takes us to the dinner table, a place that brings people together; an environment that can encourage some of the best creative solutions. As a visual artist who holds a deep love for food and cooking, I aim to alter the context of the restaurant experience through a visual free verse. By creating an opportunity to collaborate creatively with my community though both food and art I hope to reinvent modes of survival and shift perspectives about the current economic situation.

My parents cookbook from 1984

THE SOURCE OF MANY OF MY RECIPES
The inspiration for many of my recipes come from a little cookbook my parents wrote in 1984 called simply "Eastern Cuisine - The Most Delicious Recipes in the World." At the time they had just opened a Middle Eastern Food Market in Jefferson City, Missouri. Their business venture only lasted six months, but the cookbook has stayed with me to this day.
