As creatures stash their food supplies for Winter, in the latest episode of Studio Snack, a collaborative podcast with Narcis Sauleda, we chat about inconvenience food.
We explore apocalypse storecupboards, space food, preserving, what we can learn from squirrels… and as always, there are creative experiments.
I start with a look at wrapping apples in newspaper, the simplest form of apple preserving. I try wrapping them in recipes instead, for a bonus cookery idea while taking fruit out of storage.
A squirrel would be sneakier: it knows that other creatures are after its buried food so it’ll make a few decoy stashes as well. For that, I’ve pressed acorns into air-dried clay. Photographing my patterns has reminded me of a trick of the light: it’s hard to tell whether it’s an impression or a relief pattern – a trick from a trick.
