In his “A History of Slavery” works, artist Brent Holmes uses food portraiture as a narrative for the voice of the owned, beginning with the Roman gladiators and continuing on to Colonial America and present-day fast-food society. Food as history isn’t always at the forefront of conversation and popular culture, but the artist refers to it as the ultimate “cultural hand-me-down,” heavily tied to memory and emotion.
