at ease under trees

Final Project

My final project is focusing on food waste within Denison University's dining halls.

At dinner today, I asked friends to leave their plates with me when they were finished--I have a stack of about ten plates.

The title of my project is called "Save Room for Dessert." I plan to ice these layers of plates and food as if it were a layer cake, leaving a small sliver of the "cake" un-decorated, so viewers can see what it really is they should be finishing. The cake will be set on my tray from dinner, along with my other used plates, napkins, cups and silverware.

I want viewers to consider what we've been conditioned to do as food consumers, whether by our families or the settings in which we dine.
