The First Supper: Dreaming of Unity
Painting
Acrylic on canvas, sound file
Leonardo da Vinci’s The Last Supper is an acclaimed painting showing the timeless harmony between food and connection. My body of work, The First Supper: Dreaming of Unity, references this work through an aerial perspective of a large dinner party which examines my contrasting heritages, from Malaysia, Australia and Luxembourg. It represents a dreamlike scenario where all are sitting at one table, depicting a vivid tapestry of memory, family and culture. While the work examines my personal culture, I want the audiences to ponder their own associations with certain foods and reflect on what has shaped their story.
My artmaking practice has been influenced by the study and interpretation of the following artists: Leonardo da Vinci, Whitney Spicer.
