Session 5 ~ Plate Space

While most plates and bowls have a hollow inside, this part is where food is piled and all you see is the surface, and there doesn’t seem to be a sense of quantity that is understood, so if we could replace the hollow ground which you can’t feel or see and filled it up as negative space then this alteration doesn’t cause the eater to feel like he’s been cheated or denied access to his/her comfort foods. If marian were to have her rice again, she would not see any difference to the shape the plate has from her old one, and if she were to refill her plate a second or third time, then it would altogether amount to the first plate she ate in her regular looking plate.
