Dolores Delia in the Cocoon Gallery for Emerging Artists

WHAT WE CONSUME, CONSUMES US: An exhibition by Dolores Delia

Plate… The vehicle that transports our food. The limit, the measure of the ephemeral pleasure of each meal. A symbol, the foundation of what we put into our bodies, what we eat, and sometimes eats us. What are we putting on our plates? What are we chewing, and ingesting. And by this I mean more than just food. Thinking about what I feed on… Thoughts, feelings, insecurities, body image, concepts…

Exhibition on show in the Cocoon Gallery for emerging artists until the end of October 2023. All works are for sale through the artist.
