VICTORIA BALDWIN
HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO
You shouldn’t. But you could.
Don’t speak with your mouth full, take dainty bites, no dessert till you’ve had your dinner. Why not? Who has made all these rules about how you eat?
Tradition and transgression. There is discomfort and unease that arises when we eat food the wrong way.
I invite you to confront your own preconceived notions and to reflect upon the unspoken rules that shape your culinary experiences. These seemingly mundane acts of eating become a catalyst for questioning the rigid structures that often dictate our food choices and behaviors.
Throw caution to the wind and Live with abandon. Follow the moment, reach out and grab your desires. Let the intrusive thought win. Eat your cake from the centre.
FUCK YOU PIZZA
Elbows off the table, fork goes in your left hand, ladies don’t speak while they chew. Why not? Who has made all these rules about how you eat?
The best slice has no crust, just 100% pizza. Everybody knows that.
Tradition and transgression. There is discomfort and unease that arises when we eat food the wrong way.
I invite you to confront your own preconceived notions and to reflect upon the unspoken rules that shape your culinary experiences. These seemingly mundane acts of eating become a catalyst for questioning the rigid structures that often dictate our food choices and behaviors.
Live with abandon, follow the moment.
Give into joy. Take the centre slice.

This considered approach in combination with her structured process of image making, results in work that is not only bold and eye-catching, but also highly relevant to the projects display medium.
