Sky (lamb stew recipe)

Sky (lamb stew recipe) appears to be just that—a recipe. But why do you think Arakawa reproduced an ordinary recipe on such a monumental scale? Notice how the key ingredients are stenciled in pencil with sharp arrows pointed from them in various directions. Arakawa, a conceptual artist, has created a diagram of the mind. He reminds us that our minds guide everything we do— heart beating, breathing, seeing, reading, understanding, identifying ingredients, holding, chopping, measuring, skimming, serving, eating. Suddenly, the ordinary becomes extraordinary! Gift of Virginia Dwan, F95-29
