I am interested in the food we chose to eat and how it gets to our plate. Whether its basic produce, the all American cheeseburger, or a Twinkie, what we consume is sprayed, injected, treated, and/or processed. I am interested in the quest of the West to grow, breed, and invent bigger, brighter, "better" foods at a faster pace and for a cheaper price. I feel like our food is being taken out of the soil rich hands of local farmers and into the rubber gloved hands of mad scientists and cold steel machinery of laboratories.

Sports/competition
I am interested in the idea of the ideal, in particular, the goal of the athlete to be the biggest, the fastest, the strongest- the best. I am also interested in the ritual of sport and its role in contemporary America. As well as baseball's steroid scandal and its effect on "America's favorite pastime."
marching
cheering
drumming
chanting
heavy breathing
heart beat
trumpets
whistles
horns
sneakers squeaking
"swish"
pills rattling
Vices/pleasure/instant gratification
I am interested in pleasure and hedonism but only in terms of instant gratification. The quick fix. I am interested in how art can be a vice (?) in the way it effects the senses, like a drug.
rattling pills
inhaling
exhaling
water boiling
bong bubbling
lighting a match
gulping
moaning
foot tapping
scratching
ice cubes
bacon frying (fat, sugar, salt)
