At the same time\, Flesh&Edibles is a visual explorati on of how\nFood we consume directly alters our physique\, minds and how we \nare perceived by our society. \nMy collection was perceived a long time ago even before I went to college.\nIt explicitly illustrates the diverse shapes and physical transformations of\nThe human form based on the bioche mical and psychological effects of\nsustenance. It’s a personal project as I was afflicted with an environmental\nmalady since 2020.\nThis subject is not theoretical for me. It’s a lifetime archive of personal survival .\nI have been deeply conscious of what enters my body since I was 12 year s old\nDue to a heart condition since I was 12.\nMost recently\, my practi ce took some harrowing turn in 2021.\nLead Toxicity affected my profession as well as my whole well-being.\nThis art exhibition act as a retrospecti ve of lifelong relationship with bodily\naesthetics and better nutrition.\ nI chose to illustrate mostly the beautiful and artistic work.\nI selected to showcase a cohesive body of work for your eyes only.\nActually\, I hav e been “conceiving” these images since the late 1990’s.\nThese are m ostly on the aesthetic sort of views which could be based\non someone’s experiences. \nLinda Estrela Ikeda LAST-MODIFIED:20260824T000617Z LOCATION:Hellada Gallery\, 117 Linden Ave.\, Long Beach\, CA\, 90802\, Uni ted States URL:https://artslb.org/event/fleshedibles-art-exhibit-by-linda-estrela-ike da/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=long-beach-ca X-SOURCE-NAME:Arts Council for Long Beach X-SOURCE-URL:https://artslb.org/calendar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Public Hours DTSTART:20260917T200000Z DTEND:20260918T000000Z DTSTAMP:20260823T000624Z UID:1894@rancholoscerritos.org CATEGORIES:arts DESCRIPTION:Rancho Los Cerritos is open Wednesday through Friday from 1 pm – 5 pm\, on Saturdays from 10 am – 5 pm\, and on Sundays from 1 pm – 5 pm.\n\nVisiting\, tours\, and parking are free thanks to continuous donations.
