Artist statement
As the pandemic came upon us, I found myself working at home with my two kids and stress baking away the days. I instinctively fed us all the most highly caloric, fat and sugar filled treats, preparing for the unknown lean times ahead. Indulging in daily fresh baked pastries, I also felt the now or never urgency to focus on the reality of my loved ones and to dive back into those relationships. This new focus on love and its domestic framework, has created another layer of satisfaction akin to enjoying a generous slice of homemade chocolate cake.
