Anna’s Pavlova

Anna’s Pavlova – In a continuing series of an ongoing relationship with the ordinary and everyday, I have reached out to others for them to share with me the things that form their everyday. These are the things that they might reach for in different times of the day yet do so automatically, without much thought.

For example, ‘Maldon Sea Salt’ goes on pretty much everything I eat which, when given further analysis, acts in some way as my maintained and physical connection to Europe – the salt from the sea is an essential part of my physicality.

‘Anna’s Pavlova’ – I’m purposefully not sharing the identities of those that shared their sometimes very personal stories with me; and so, ‘Anna’s’ relationship with food began early in her life as she used it for comfort.

She finds it extremely difficult around Christmas time to not indulge in the many offerings of food so freely available and sees it as a sign of a personal victory that she can now say no and truly understands what it means to sometimes say ‘yes’. That yes can be found attached to this memory-inducing favourite, the pavlova.
