Artist Statement
Birds of a feather flock together, or at least that’s how the saying goes. People with the same tastes and interests will be found together. And where we find ourselves together now is in a supermarket. You seem disappointed but fret not! This market is filled with wondrous and mysterious items. Take for example, Yakult, these small pink bottles are sweet and contain actual live bacteria. They’re a staple in breakfasts all over the world and are extremely popular for their amazing health benefits. Or if you’re looking for a quick snack why not try chicken feet seasoned with rice vinegar and chili. Don’t worry they’re preserved and packaged so it’s easy to take a few on the go. They’re called Fèng zhuǎ 鳯爪 or phoenix claws. You won’t find a more exciting name than that! And while on the topic of snacks have you heard of duck necks? Trust me this is a must! Because ducks constantly move their necks around, the meat of this part is lean, tender and delicious. So even if we don’t share the same tastes and interests wouldn’t you agree, supermarkets have something for everyone, what’s your pick?
