"Beyond Sweeties: Work by Naomi London"
2001-02-14 until 2001-03-25
Bishop’s University Art Gallery
Lennoxville, QC, CA

This process-oriented exhibition combines the collection of delicious baked sweets and dessert recipes from the public, baked by the artist and then photographed and transformed through paint into rich, mouth-watering visual treats.

The exhibition, over a year in the making, explores the notion of female domesticity and craft-oriented tasks viewed from the perspective of visual artist, Naomi London. The process began with the artist’s requests for public submissions of recipes for baked sweets. The recipes she received then became the focus of her visual documentary. Her principle concerns addressed in this work include the activity of baking as one that has long been traditionally associated with the feminine, and the combination of this type of work with photography and painting. The paintings of the desserts function as a means of celebrating the visual character of the recipe, and examining the relationship between food-preparation, baking and art making. Finally, this exhibition explores the interrelation between the artist and the public, between essence and form and between purpose and message.

Naomi London is an interdisciplinary artist who graduated from the University of California with an MFA. Since her formal studies, London has been included in numerous solo and group exhibitions including L'origine des choses at the Musée d’art contemporain in Montreal.
