Excerpt from On The Origins of Kitchen Utensils, artist book, 2022:
"To discover the origin of past utensils is to peel back the layers (with a peeler of course!) and discover a world of unbridled mediocrity. How did the common fork end up the way it did? Why is my ladle curved?
...Collected within this volume one can explore firsthand the fascinating, the exotic, the unknown, unused utilitarian evolution of such magnificent underrated specimens.
From the majestic cheaply made tongs to the symmetry of the humble spoon, one must admire the audacious nature of the unnatural and come to appreciate the inherent art, diversity, and splendor of the kitchen utensil kingdom!"
