Kingsgate Project Space, London
Solo exhibition following a residency at Kingsgate Workshops focusing on the AA Gill quote, ‘A menu is a script, a recipe a scene’. All of the works had multiple positions and the exhibition was laid out as a three course meal, viewers could request a rearrangement of the show corresponding to the starter, main and dessert. During the opening the shift was enacted by a dancer instructed to move like Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face crossed with a canapé waiter.

'You love once, I told you. Even when you love over and over again it is the same once, the same one. And you sent me your recipes–Ezra Pound Cake, Beef Mellarmé–and you wrote: Do you think if you eat one meal, every meal after that is the same meal, just because it too is a meal?', 2015
