I loved when you said that ice is a feeble attempt at preserving death and flesh.

The ice bowls relationship with the plate of meat – mentally they have to weigh the same amount is there a way to make that happen in reality. (one solid block of ice?)

Also keep making two versions of all the diptychs one with you in it and one with out. See what this brings. We talked about the difference between the noun of prepared and the verb of preparing.

Keep thinking  about the basic elements/ building blocks and how they apearin you images.

The act of preserving the death is also in tern is part of preserving ourselves.

Words that came up to keep thinking about were: Salt, Smoked, Dehydrated

I'm just really excited to see where you are going with this. There were so many lovely subtle touches, like the ice cube that was out of the bowl placed in the same location as the clam and the slight pink of the blood in the ice bowl. Keep up those surprises.
