hotpot time!
the blindfolding experience
party of 8
This particular experience draws attention to the making and sharing of a meal. It is meant to remove the limitations of time and bring guests closer to one another through spending time eating together. A gathering of 8 came together to enjoy a hotpot meal together. They were asked to drop their cellphones and watches in a box as well as stay at the dinner until everyone was full. To heighten the eating experience, two blindfolds rotated around the table throughout the meal. The person sitting on your right would determine how long you were blindfolded for. They were also the ones who received the blindfold next.
This was the first time the experience has been performed. It turned out to be a great event with good food and great company. It would be interesting to host this one day with a larger crowd of strangers.
The Last Dinner Party
OPUS NO.04: The Last Dinner Party
My last eating experience as part of my degree project OPUS is to take place next Wednesday at the RISD Met. This composition is in collaboration with RISD Dining. If you are interested in attending, please sign up here to reserve your seat!
Sandwiched
as part of my degree project, OPUS, I held my first Sandwiched event in Providence
OPUS: the eating experience
is a project that engages people to share in a meal so that they may interact through new conversations and relationships. Through utilizing food as material, eating as performance and conversation as a stimulant these personal and intimate experiences that will live as simple, yet strong and compelling social interactions.
Sandwiched is an event focused on relationships. Besides drawing attention to the building of a relationship, there is also much emphasis placed on the moments of intimacy and vulnerability within a relationship. Guests were invited to a lunch where they had to make and eat a sandwich together, the only rule was that they couldn’t break the sandwich.
This event was first performed in Rome and will also be exhibited at Seattle Center’s Next50 Exhibition this June!

sending it back old school: this was my experiment in mailing letterpress telegrams to close family and friends
result: pending failure - no replies back
A long complicated sentence should force itself upon you, make you know yourself knowing it and the comma, well at the most a comma is a poor period that it lets you stop and take a breath but if you want to take a breath you ought to know yourself that you want to take a breath.
—Gertrude Stein, 1935 “Poetry and Grammar”
