Marie Antoniette, said, "Let them eat cake".
"Qu'ils mangent de la brioche",
A Queen's ignorance and the price of bread, ultimately cost her;
her head.
These two images play with how bread permeates and shapes cultures; the journeys and stories of our ancestors and touches our daily lives.
A pretzel style hairpiece doesn't seem so out of place in a fashionable court wig.
A crusty baguette can be quickly divided; to be shared, rationed or eaten sparingly.
Not having the means to make or afford bread leads people to move to unknown lands
and they bring their heritage in recipes.
baguette, pretzel, nan, baozi, pizza..
Bread is the staple that binds us all.
"Give us our daily bread, and forgive us of our trespasses"
A significant proportion of British convicts shipped off to the New World were victims of hunger.
Stealing a loaf became a perverse new opportunity to have a much better life.
~Anna Louise Johns
