Artist Statement
As Edible Affairs our practice is rooted in food as a third space. We create sculptural food experiences that are responsive to artistic collaboration, based on whimsy, and rooted in our cultural food traditions (Natalie with California-Argentine roots, and Jamie with Canadian-Chinese roots). Food is a radical method of connection, and we are fueled by nourishing our creative community. We aim to create fluxus style food experiences which emphasize the connection, alchemy, and mess of food. With fine art and applied arts backgrounds, food has become the medium in which we create as it has the utmost ability to elicit pleasure, delight and sensuality. The universality of food is where we place our desires. Food is a constant opportunity for revelation! For celebration! Our collaborations evoke both nostalgia and futurism as food enables us to recreate and reinterpret just as quickly as we digest.
