Bozena Wojtaszek – Blooming
Spring cooking
The first thought for “Blooming” theme was obvious – I would go with flowers and the only thing to decide was if I want one flower, a bunch of them or the whole garden. But later on I realized that my personal artistic goal for 2019 is to focus on kitchen/food oriented artworks. So, why not to start with blooming in the kitchen?
I immediately imagined a small kitchen space with lots of blooming here and there. While pondering on this idea further I decided to keep with just one pot and a few kinds of blooming around. So the small flowers on the wall tiles and floral designs on the pot accompany the main blooming process going on in the pot. And because it is dreadful January (which in Poland is really dreadful) my longing for spring showed up too – from bare roots, through the mysterious cooking process, to the joyful spring blooming!
