"Bread" has long been present in my work—appearing somewhere on a receipt, in the plastic bag from a bakery, or in works featuring empty plates. For this exhibition, I wanted to gather the ideas of eating and living into the single word "bread." Eating is one of the many things woven into the repetition of everyday life, the passage of time, and the acts we carry out simply because we are alive and because we must continue living. I wanted the word "bread" to hold all of this. While no work in the exhibition takes the form of bread itself, there are works that evoke bread and connect to what it represents.
