Stir Fry Drunken Noodles with Chicken (Pad Kee Mao). This interview has been edited and condensed. Cooking, making work and teaching are all just living. Today, I don’t draw a line between the cooking I do for a work and the food preparation I do at home to feed my partner and me. In contrast, enjoying a meal is a way to really engage with and understand the other, to share time and space and sustenance. There’s a methodology in the West of isolating objects from other cultures, of putting them in boxes in museums and studying them outside of their context, which, for me, completely misses the point. When I made the work, I was really interested in offering a postcolonial critique. And the meal was based on a recipe from an American woman, in the ’70s or early ’80s, who substituted ketchup for tamarind paste because pad Thai wasn’t well known in the United States at the time.

Everything informs everything else.įor the past six years or so, I’ve taught a class at Columbia University called Making Without Objects. 
I just do what I need or want to do, and throughout that process, I think about various possible works. I don’t wake up and go to a place where I sit down and make things.
All the ways I fill a day - even if I’m doing nothing at all - are one and the same. I don’t really think of what I do as an artistic practice.
