Dehydrated Grounds:
“The child with hands covering eyes begins a path while playing: abandons a trusted reality”
 I have childhood memories of walking on cracked mud grounds.  In re-creating this experience in an emphatic artistic representation  I reconsider the materials to explore the gaps and different layers of reality within the human condition. Mud cookies is the reference material, yet removing the sweetness and temptation of fairytales and referring it to cracked and dried surfaces of disillusioned realities at the same time connecting it to  historical events and as well as current realities such as the consumption of mud as staple food source in  nations overwhelmed by famine.  In this path I hope to induce audiences to the abundant of dehydrated crumble of cookies defaced by the action of walking.
