title:  WAFFLES FOR AN OPENING

"Many years later, I read that Robert Filliou had thought that art about life was not so important for what it did for art, but for what it did for life.

For a two-month period people came to our house for waffle breakfasts. I was thinking about if it was safe for my family, how many would come, and who was trusting most. My biggest surprise was how my friends didn't come, but strangers did. We signed the paper plates as a thanks for coming and I started to see it as the gift sculpture object."
