Abstract

Reform The Pacific (a)isleways are a tinned food paradise of cream crackers, pisupo, ‘eleni, spaghetti, baked beans, wahoo, spam, and more. A vertical garden of fleshy cans advertised with silk flowers. Foods processed, pressed, packed, sealed and re-formed into new territories, shapes, and textures. Peering into our household pantry, I will find those familiar cans loud amidst stacks of saimini, packets of flavored drink powder, styrofoam cones of koko, tubs of margarine, long sleeves of sliced bread, and, perhaps, a wheel of Danish butter cookies. I will find a feast for the apocalypse.
