"In the end, it cannot be doubted that each of us can see only part of the picture... Human knowledge is never contained in one person. It grows from the relationships we create between each other and the world, and still it is never complete."
— Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air
We each have a piece to contribute to the whole of human knowledge. With that inspiration, I spent more a year asking people across different languages and cultures to share a nugget of food wisdom or advice they’ve received that they continue to carry with them in their kitchen, garden, or life. I turned their answers into artwork, which grew into this crowd-sourced bank of Collective Food Wisdom.
In Fall of 2017 I exhibited the works at a community art show in Portland, Oregon. ⠀
