hole 7: the big bake-off<br />
kalimna<br />

A curiosity for the rituals of<br />
everyday life leads me to the joy<br />
that is assemblage sculpture. The<br />
art of creat<strong>in</strong>g sculpture from found<br />
objects.<br />
For the Hole Truth project, The<br />
Big Bake Off is my way of pay<strong>in</strong>g<br />
respectful homage to the wonderful<br />
history of the country ladies of the<br />
CWA who bake tantalis<strong>in</strong>g goodies<br />
and br<strong>in</strong>g a healthy competitive edge<br />
to it also.<br />
The Big Bakeoff is signalled by a<br />
clothesl<strong>in</strong>e full of v<strong>in</strong>tage aprons fly<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>in</strong> the breeze.<br />
A large recipe card will tell golfers<br />
how to play the 7th hole. Tee off is<br />
a set of scales. Large scale flour and<br />
sugar t<strong>in</strong>s, eggs and milk are the<br />
obstacles. At the bottom of the hill is<br />
the oven and the trophies, 1st, 2nd<br />
and 3rd. The first 30 W<strong>in</strong>ners get to<br />
take their prize ribbon home.<br />
“My aprons have been collected over<br />
the years and each one has a story<br />
to tell. Mmm... who did it belong<br />
to? Was the waist that it enclosed<br />
taut and trim ? or deliciously<br />
rubenesque? ... What foods were<br />
splattered across the front? Tears<br />
wiped from eyes, family recipes<br />
stuffed <strong>in</strong> pockets. memories from<br />
childhood are brought back with the<br />
vision of an apron-clad cook.<br />
There are many Hole Truths to be<br />
discovered here ... Secrets of the<br />
perfect sponge cake, How to make<br />
pumpk<strong>in</strong> scones, prize w<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g<br />
lam<strong>in</strong>gtons, Did Betty really love the<br />
milkman ... and more.
