Take a close-up look at Hugh Hayden's "Soul Food.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Hayden has often used cuisine and the craft of creating customs from food and music as subjects in his practice to consider the African foundations within U.S. history and culture. The kitchen-like arrangement in Soul Food pairs twelve cast-iron skillets customized using aspects of African masks, as well as the artist’s mouth and ears, with twelve copper pots fused to brass instruments. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #Blaffer #BlafferArtMuseum #HughHayden Images: Hugh Hayden: Boogey Men, installation view, Blaffer Art Museum.
