Kitchen Talk: Recent Works by Vivian Bennett The farm kitchen has a long history. It is a place where decisions are made to further the welfare of the farm, the family and the community. Running alongside the farm kitchen is the history of the farm wife.
The farm kitchen is part of the fabric of our Canadian women's heritage.
Whether you grew up on the farm or are still ensconced on one, as a woman you have indulged in "kitchen talk". Memories of the talks we had in the kitchen about our bodies, our boyfriends, our husbands, our children, our community, our parents and our world are embedded in the "kitchen talk" inside our heads.
Using the metaphor of the "farm kitchen", Alberta artist, Vivian Bennett captures some of this "kitchen talk" on brilliant, spirited canvasses.
