Mary Parisi‘s artistic interpretation of food reveal moody and even sensual qualities. Tension arises between our notions of delicious food and Parisi’s close inspection of the details, challenging what appeals to our senses of sight, taste, and smell. Inspired and haunted by graphic food memories from her childhood Parisi explains, “My father made soup every Monday and when he began putting multiple pairs of bright yellow chicken feet into the broth, chicken soup was never again a simple comfort.”
