Ximena Escobar Piedrahita ximescobar@yahoo.com Food and the Art of Happiness The way we eat. Changing consumption patterns
through textile and surface design. Eating in our culture has become
feeding, as we are no longer fully aware of, and have any real say
in, what we actually eat. I am trying to improve this situation
by bringing back the traditions and rituals of eating, thus creating
a proper atmosphere to eat. Using the tablecloth as my starting
point, I have redefined it, adapted it to the new ritual of the
meal, creating a new option for take-away food. While I can’t
change the nature of our eating habits, especially the time we spend
eating, I can revolutionise the eating experience. My packaging
makes you more aware of your food; it makes you enjoy it and hopefully
have a better quality time. |
