This relief sculpture shows an everyday scene of someone in the checkout of a supermarket. Part of my interest with this scene is that it brings to mind our relationship with our food sources. Most Americans are very removed from food production, and at the supermarket you can purchase a vast variety of food, some from distant places. This piece especially relates to ‘West End Meat Market’ and ‘Company in a Tavern’ because of the quotidian subject matter and how it is a record of a certain cultural place and time.
