Burnt Toast: Dead Fathers


Dead Fathers dinner. One in a series of dinners designed to bring conversant and new meaning to imbedded loss.
I used my fathers favorite foods as a tool of both remembering and as a vehicle to discuss the unique expressions of loss we all move with. By carbonizing these foods: hotdogs, brussels sprouts, waffles, hamburgers Etc. I was able to create marking tools which were then used over the course of an evening to create a physical/pictorial representations of each participants histories.
