A Parting Repast is a contemplation and reflection of:

objects used to hold memories, conjure meaning, and process grief; 

the ritualistic use of food to commemorate important moments; 

and the transformation that occurs from loss.  

Through the layering of found and made objects, I explore ways in which the body, time, and memory are entangled with death.  I seek to understand and reveal how a relationship with death creates beauty and meaning in life.  

The installation serves as a metaphor for connection, loss, and transition.
