"Autobiographical Baked Bean Can" April 2009






"The text that wraps the Can"
Printing to size, fixing and glazing it to a convincing sheen took some time to configure.
Its my contribution to another artists project, "what is your take on art making?" Please do it on a can. She told me it was a can of kidney beans but I know someone who opened one and it was Baked Beans. That completely changes it for me. Though it all means something else in Pakistan, different associations entirely. The point was that I did it autobiographically. Even the corrections of the text refers to my work as a teacher.
