Devour Project
This project exist in two parts:
1) Every day, for the next 30 days, I will be eating lunch at a table at the Visual Arts Center. Dates and times of lunch will be posted each week so others may join me for lunch.
2) The table on which will be eating will be marked and mangled. Participants will be encourage to carve negative words they have heard or told themselves about their body and the food they eat.
At the end of each week I will sand down the phrases in order to reduce the negative impact of these words.
Please feel free to join me for lunch (rain or shine) and make your mark on the table.
UPDATE: This project was unfortunately cut short due to theft. The table was removed and the word "negated" was circled in the spot where the table once stood. The project was not able to continue during the allotted time but will be revisited in the Spring of 2012 as per participants requests.
For more information about the project please see the NCLAC article.
The project was also featured in the Louisiana Tech newspaper, The Tech Talk, which can be found online here. The article can be found on the bottom of the first page.
