Description
‘Apetito’ is a dense collection of concepts. A pile of earthen spoons on the edge of a field, a line of red cord indicating the positions to be sown in a freshly ploughed field and on the land Yendell labours. Using a mattock to scoop out the earth, she plants the spoons one by one, each is situated swiftly and carefully in position, sentinel like the spoons hold their position. A final sifting of earth and the red cord rewound; the work is completed. As night falls, Yendell places a spoon on her shoulder and looking forwards walks out of the screen to some other place. ‘Appetito’: women’s complex and subtle relationship with food, its production, its preparation and consumption from distant time ‘til now made visible in all its layers of subtlety.
