One Thousand Hours One Thousand Cakes A Dwelling Wall

 

The cake wall represents a reenactment of my mothers the labor of baking 1000 imperial pound cakes over the course of one year as an act of kindness and nurturing for others. The aroma of the cakes offers a sense of the comforts of home. One thousand baked pound cakes are stacked one on another forming the beginnings of a dwelling wall, the cakes sit atop one another with both stability and instability as the cakes teeter on falling.
