Bread and Butter Exhibition by Ashleigh Walters
In the SUPPER gallery, Bread and Butter by Ashleigh Walters will fill the walls with art that explores the deep, multi-faceted role that food plays in our lives: not only as sustenance and nutrition, but also as a vessel for memory, identity, healing, and connection. Through diverse media and storytelling, I explore how food connects with your personal emotional landscape: the comfort of a childhood meal, the ritual of a shared table, the complexities of nourishment, and the sensory triggers that bring the past racing back. Food is a common thread that binds us across cultures and across time, and it can also be a chasm of harsh disparity for neighbors who live just feet or miles apart. This show invites you to reflect on your own personal food narratives, and consider how something as everyday as a bite to eat can hold extraordinary meaning.
