As we are approaching another Presidential election I thought of all the Presidents elected in my lifetime. I created this photomontage using pictures of 17 of them. Most of them presided in my lifetime.

Responding to Walker’s vision of taste and appetite in “Daddy Bruce” I layered photos of Jill Watts preparing bread with scans of recipes from a cook book prepared by my friend Cindy Braun before she died. Well worn covers of old books provided a background. Contrasting the disembodied young woman’s legs in “Daddy Bruce”, Jill’s arms surround a mixing bowl while making bread. Rather than Walker’s dehumanized objectification of appetite and taste, these women’s culinary creations provide sustenance to others. Cindy was young, Jill is not, both are well aware of the power of good food.
