With a punk aesthetic, Lindsey Lou Howard’s subversive sculptures are as delectable as they are stomach-churning. Her maximalist ceramic sculptures, often of ‘indulgent’ foods, aim to illuminate issues surrounding food waste and inequality/access while capturing the ostentatious spectacle of ‘foodie’ trends promoted through social media and corporate marketing campaigns. She pushes the boundaries of food humor/horror by utilizing its histories, market trends, and ideas about the future of food sustainability within the current industrial food complex.
