On Sustenance and Survival
Daily Bread is a performance born from a moment of profound questioning.
After decades operating within the global advertising industry, I found myself interrogating the true meaning of effort, life, and creative labor. In a search for absolute authenticity, I walked away from the world of commercial persuasion to return to something undeniably real.
Nothing carries that raw honesty quite like a piece of bread.
As a ritual in my personal life, I bake fresh bread for my family almost daily; transitioning this practice into the studio was a natural progression. It bridges the gap between domestic care and fine art, translating a deeply personal act of sustenance into a physical monument.
Spanning 62 consecutive days, this performance commits the studio to a disciplined cycle of manual labor and direct exchange. Each day produces a single, date-stamped ceramic slice - a permanent physical artifact of time, material chemistry, and human effort.
Available for immediate acquisition as they are created, these works serve as enduring visual anchors in homes and corporate spaces of thought, honouring the ordinary rituals and quiet labor that keep us alive.
