Codified Artifice

Abstract

This written report supports the thesis exhibition entitled Codified Artifice, images of which are included in this report. The focus of this creative research is the cultural and nutritional implications of packaged foods. This research is manifested in a ceramic installation consisting of slip-cast food packages, stacked and arrayed to form a confined space. The installation asks the viewer to ponder their relationship to the containers displayed and discuss the role of packages in our food culture, and daily lives.
