Baking bread is a cross-cultural and ancient art that deserves to be celebrated and acknowledged as a universal art form. Good bread provides the needed glue between life and art, it creates social bonds and restores the loss of sensibility and meantime that is lacking in our efficient and homogenized world. By baking our own bread we reconnect with our soil, soul and our senses. I call it "sensible perspectives". I do not mean sensible in the way we have come to understand the word but sensible as in being awake, aware and alert with the capacity to expand our consciousness and perceive through our senses. Baking bread is a wholesome, aesthetic experience. Everyone can be an artist through sculpting, baking and sharing bread.
Bread is the art that goes beyond the walls of the gallery and onto our kitchen table.
