"To me mice represent ideas of multiplicity when it comes to food. They also signal food security and seasonality. Mice are never alone and we are never far from a mouse either. They live in our compost bins and we have to protect our food from the mice when they move into the house in the cool of autumn. There are also things about mice and children that are inextricably linked: Fairy tales, crumbs, squeaking and the ability to find all the food in the house. Mice stand in as archetypal figures when I think about my relationship with food and how complex, nuanced, and chaotic it is, but also how inevitable the growing, precuring, preparing, storing, and eating of food is; that endless repetition. No matter what mice seem to find their way in."
