Compost Bins

Alyssa
Gerasimoff

My recent work has focused on finding ways to critique the contemporary global foodscape while educating on what simple everyday changes one can make. My thesis project entitled, Empathies of Consumption, included the composting project shown here as well as a concept for an installation which responds to the perception of infiniteness in American supermarkets. I am also interested in the preservation of traditional cooking techniques while finding ways to bring them into the present. For me, this manifests in inheriting my Russian culinary heritage while converting meat-heavy recipes into vegetarian ones. Post RISD, I hope to continue working in this realm and COVID-19 has shown me that it is possible to maintain a creative practice from home.
