【 摘 要 】

Relish the Lick is a series of collages of human and animal bodies that explorethe emotional frictions of interpersonal relationships that begin around the kitchentable. The images’ ambiguous narratives are revealed within the composition of thefigures themselves, which are predominantly constructed of food imagery. Thiswork calls into question how people physically and emotionally feed off each other.Archetypal relationships, hierarchies of power and vulnerability, beauty and thegrotesque, as well as dinner and dessert play parts in this visual theater. Organizedin nearly empty environments, providing the most minimal of contexts, these storiesare anywhere and everywhere. This MFA thesis document discusses the imagescreated for Relish the Lick and reflects on the artistic, cultural, and textual influencesfor this body of work.
