Kummerspeck (2018)

In 2018, I put together an exhibition called MASARAP at Babycastles Gallery. Masarap is Tagalog for 'delicious.’ I used this two-week takeover to explore the complicated origins of comfort food as well as the ways we play with what we eat. Read about it here.

As seen in…

KUMMERSPECK translates to ‘grief bacon.’ These soft breakfast items were created to bring comfort and relief. They can be touched and rearranged any which way on its blue plate.  Visitors were encouraged to remove shoes while engaging with this meal.

KUMMERSPECK is

  • Hand-sewn white tablecloth fried egg blanket with microbead yolk.

  • Felt bacon with crinkly bubblewrap pockets you can “fry” yourself.

  • Embroidery floss-stiched chenille Swiss cheese slice.

  • Foam blue plate special.

  • Blue check tablecloth setting.
