New Source Update

I have not really changed my source from my last update, it is still the American industrial food system - explored through an artist book. However, over the past few days I have been thinking a lot about materials, not just the materials I am using in my artist's book, but materials in general. What things are made of. Suff. I've been thinking a lot about choices artists make in terms of the materials they use to transmit their ideas. I've been thinking a lot about how things are made and where those things come from. I've been thinking a lot about the food I eat. Not should i eat meat or vegetables, but where did this chicken come from, and what does it mean to consume its body? What is the origin of this material or that? What does it mean to be made out of something? Am I the physical thing or something else. What does embodiment mean? What is my role in the food industry and moreover what is the role of my body? Clearly, I am rambling here. But I think these are important questions to ask if I could just figure out how to organize them.
