How are artists today influenced by the last 20 years of the art movement of Relational Aesthetics? My research is focused on the Relational Aesthetics method of participant engagement as a form of art practice. Combining traditional craft mediums and cooking I explore the ways social engagement and Relational Aesthetics can create community within the spectrum of contemporary art. I use traditional craft mediums to create tactile and visual familiarity to engage gallery goers as well as community participation.
