Expandable Letter: A letter exchange between Katy and Rebecca Beinart in a hand-sewn packet which can expand and change shape as contents are added.
The letter investigates the artists responses to identity, culture and family history.
Starter Culture: An action producing a starter culture for bread from grapes harvested from
the artists parental home. Katy and Rebecca are each producing the culture, which they will feed
and take with them on their journey to South Africa. The work plays with the idea of transposing
cultures from place to place, and of taking a part of home with you as you migrate. The work also
relates to the Jewish tradition of taking bread across the threshold of a new home.
