Flour Studies poetically explores the movement of woman's hands as she prepares bread dough, transforming her hands and the flour itself into an expansive sea. She blurs the lines between tangible observation and abstract concepts, portraying movement as a continuous flow, like the dough's development, its rise, and the ebb and flow of waves. As Anne Carson suggests, women undergo constant metamorphosis and are intrinsically linked to the currents of water, experiencing continuous processes of sipping, breaking, pausing, leaking, and changing. By focusing on the physical nature of flour and the female role in providing care, Flour Studies redefines a woman's connection to domestic life. It illustrates this as a mental flow of thoughts, voices, and creative expressions moving through her as she records her hand gestures while nourishing those in her home. Her kitchen evolves into a hub of creativity and fluidity, offering the potential for transformation, to become abstract, to move freely, and to immerse herself in a boundless ocean of possibilities.
In Flour Studies, a woman strives for the ultimate dough in a process akin to a stream of consciousness, embracing experimentation, metamorphosis, and fluidity. She glides like water in the ocean, her hands sculpting varied forms daily with each deliberate motion.
