My son and I were working on a stop-motion animation that involved drawings etched in flour. Looking at his hands, it occurred to me how foreign the flour and hands appeared, and how both were transformed in an instant, into sculpture with texture, form, light. We began to try different foods from our kitchen, aware of each physical experience. We took a closer look, to really consider the items that we are so quick to put in our bodies on our bodies.
