Place Setting: We are all guests of Mother Nature. Everything on this table is some service of nature--forests, marshes, animals, insects specific to the area of the installation, though some of the log rounds are singed. The clay vessels echo the patterns in the playa mud they were dug from (thanks to ceramicist Joann Wadge!). The place cards have the scientific names of locally commons species, including Mater natura and Homo sapiens. If I thought of myself as a guest at a dinner, would I behave differently? |
