There are many layers of inspiration within The Pot Luck-everything from Corningware and Tupperware, fashion from the 1930's/40's and the 1960's, my varied memories from my great-grandmother's home and my Nan's home to different references from Mary Gabriel’s Ninth Street Women , Richard Rothstein’s The Color of Law , advertising from the 1940’s and 50’s. It is rich in layers.
In some respects it is a companion to my paintings Don't Rock The Boat and Cake in highlighting the ways in which traditions, ideologies and privileged habits are so often passed from one generation to the next without question.
