Taste Buds-the adventure into the taste world continue...

The firts day of Taste Buds Project

It is very relaxing to sit on a table while looking at the people passing by and inviting those who are serving a meal near you to discuss about tastes.
For sure, most of them decide to talk about the last taste they remember- the taste of the food they just had. And being a cafe with thai specific, almost all the courses have a very spicy taste. This is why people were more ''keen'' on the ''Spicy Bud'' board than the other ones.
So I decided to ''recall'' a bitter experience and I filled in my thoughts on a little ''bitter tongue''. The bitter reminds me from my childhood, when I used to peel green nuts and then ''taste'' my bitter fingertips. Bitter for me is also the skin with tan on it.
The little tongues are supposed to be some kind of puzzle pieces and putted together to form a ''flower'' of tastes.

I really had a ''bitter-sweet'' experience. And this is only the beginning. Let's see what it's going to happen further...

I will be there- sitting on a table, watching people while passing by, shooting some photographs. I am the girl in the Shadow

Taste Buds Art Project

Today the Taste Buds art project starts in Aberdeen Market at Pad Thai cafe. I have been working at this project together with the artists Jay Koh and Chu Yuan and after cutting and painting a lot of little paper tongues( as interaction materials ) , this is finally happening .
This involves interacting with the public while discussing about taste and what memories they evoke to people.
I will be there taking photograps which hopefully are going to end in a final exhibition about how was the project going.
Why call something a bitter-sweet experience?
Does taste rest only on our tongues?
SWEET, SOUR, BITTER, SALTY, PUNGENT...What does each taste evoke to you?

when my inspiration kills me...I paint.
