The images in these prints were articles found in my grandmother's pantry. Many were gifts from relatives reserved for special recipes and occasions while others were regularly used and replenished.

As a child of a first generation immigrant family, I once hid the traditional foods we kept in our kitchen from my friends for fear that they would find it strange or frightening. As an adult and an artist, I wish to honour the traditions and the journey of my family through this body of work.
