Social Practice
Fire Bread Project
2020
The Fire Bread Project began as a socially engaged project of 8 people. I sent 8 packages to participants - each package contained a block printed muslin bag with the dry ingredients to make fire bread. The idea was that we could be connected as a community through bread making, even while separated and with the world on fire. After the initial project, I was asked to make 100 bags for students at Hampden Academy for the same purpose. The students documented their experiences and then the art teacher collected the photos on a website.
