“To Feed” is a continuation of an archival series of recipes Maya Elena started at Bard College in 2023. Maya Elena presented this installation at Anderson Ranch Arts Center during the 2023 Intern Show, Table for Fourteen.

Six second-hand napkins were sewn together to form a tablecloth and dyed with Yarrow collected from the local area. Fourteen handwritten recipes collected from the 2023 Interns at Anderson Ranch were screen-printed onto the fabric.

​

Through this series Maya Elena continues to create an archive of comfort recipes and conversations held amongst communities across the United States. Starting with the question, “What recipe brings you comfort?” Food holds tradition, history and support for many people. What does a recipe hold for you? 

Using the same question, Maya Elena posed to the 2023 Interns at Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Snowmass, Colorado, and the public who attended the installation.
