In Potluck Party Pai Ti Kong with the Ghosts, Jayanto draws inspiration from a family tradition experienced in everyday life – the ritual of offering food made by his mother.
These ceramic food offerings were created whilst in conversation with family and friends during COVID-19 lockdowns.
Navigating personal racial attacks, gender identity, migration and familial narratives, these charged conversations are rendered as a moving still-life ceramic ‘soul foods’ and offered as everyday ritual.
Pure joy as you wake to the sunrise. Awe as you make it to the snowy peak. A sense of adventure as you motor across red plains. The relief of rejuvenation as you wade into an alpine stream. Connection as you taste native, fragrant leaves. A sense of belonging as you return to your favourite holiday house. Freedom as you dash into the waves. Discover the endless feelings a visit to NSW can inspire.
