Tallows. Smoke Points. Letdowns. By Sally Wolchyn-Raab. April 18-May 17, reception and artist talk from 3-6PM April 18.
Lithography relies on fat: not only can any lipid be used as a drawing medium, but the process itself is founded on the molecular properties of lipids (oil and water don’t mix). Kitchen lithography, a DIY adaptation of this traditional and notoriously labour-intensive printmaking process, harkens readily to conversations about food and feminism. It breaks away from the authority of traditional litho, and brings it into a space of accessibility and community.
I started working in lithography when I wanted to use fat, particularly culinary and my own body fat as a drawing medium. What are the social hierarchies and transformations of such a versatile, necessary and divisive group of materials? From culinary products, beauty trends to my own “body fat” harvested during my time breastfeeding, this work explores my own experiences and complex relationship to fats/my body as a platform for how we moralize certain foods along the lines of race, class and culture, and how perceptions of value based on body size impact our daily lives.
My exhibition Tallows. Smoke Points. Letdowns. Is opening at @hermeshfx this Saturday! The reception starts at 3, and I’ll be giving a talk at 4.
I’m getting some lovely, fatty snacks for the reception, kids are welcome (mine will be there!) and the show will run until May 17.
Hope to see you there 💕
