Memories of the dinner table


Work I created to highlight the importance of families eating around the dinner table. From collecting a range of responses related to families eating around the dinner table enabled me to form the ‘memories of the dinner table’ tablecloth. The tablecloth presents the generic floral pattern seen on many old fashioned tablecloths. 

The floral pattern is created from the responses people gave when asked about memories a of the dinner table and what they talk about at the dinner table with their family. These responses, some warming and many humorous highlight the delight and the great communication that is generated from this place when shared with family and friends. Along with the title ‘memories of the dinner table’ and the old fashioned floral pattern communicates the idea that the amount of families eating around the dinner table is decreasing, due to our fast lane and hectic lifestyles that we live today.
