A Shared Meal Pottery Experiment. |
Inspired by local food, this mural aims to spark storytelling.
Since the Summer of 2019, local Little Falls multi-media artist, Heidi Jeub, has been engaging with food producers, distributors, farmers, and the community they serve, to inform and inspire a large-scale mural.
Heidi, who is a painter, book binder, and public artist, uses a combination of research and intuition to gather inspiration. "I approach a piece, not concerned with how it will look, but how I will get there." In previous work with communities, the resulting public art installations have been informed by community discussions, sharing of historic images or documents, and one-on-one interviews. "This process has helped ensure that the end product is a part of the community, serving emotional and aesthetic joy and reflection," says Heidi.

Check out (like a library book) a piece of pottery and contribute to The Reci-Piece Project. Bring the pottery home where you'll prepare and serve a meal, then document the experience through photos, recipes, and reflections on the experience.
The Reci-Piece Project passes the pottery to encourage community members to prepare and share meals, recipes, memories, and cultural traditions with one another. Read the Reci-Piece Instructions and reach out to natalie@sproutmn.com to coordinate your pottery pick-up. |
