The magnificence of the world is experienced through the gift of our senses. The brain provides the platform for making sense of what we see, hear, smell, taste and touch – all of which ultimately shape the way we perceive the world. The plate is most pragmatically conceptualized as a vessel for food, but it can also connect us through smell and taste with the person who prepared a mouth-watering delicacy. As fine art, it can please our sights and spark conversation. Heirloom china can evoke nostalgia. The plate provides nourishment for all of our senses and the brain is the foundation by which we create meaning out of these experiences. This is A Feast for the Senses.
