Images of the GOLDEN PRETZEL at LUMEN 2025 - Uptown Waterloo
The Golden Pretzel project is an extension of my thematic work exploring our connection and interaction with food. The large sculptural soft pretzel offers sensory experiences reflective of the senses we use with food: visual, smell, touch/texture, and temperature. Viewers may stand behind the pretzel loops to give the pretzel a hug. They will be greeted with a fresh bakery scent, course salt lights on top of the pretzel, soft fabric covering a foam pretzel structure, and a warm heat emanating from the back of the pretzel. Groups may engage behind, beside, and in front of the pretzel to take photos and video of their interaction.
The Golden Pretzel was created during a Femme Folks Fest Artist Residency and through the generous support of the Waterloo Region Community Foundation.
