The Evolution of Kitchens:
In a Nutshell
2018
The Evolution of Kitchens: In a Nutshell chronicles the visual history of kitchens from 1890 to present
day. The images are constructed in accordion style within a walnut shell (as they are a condensed
history). At such a small scale, the focus of the images are not the kitchens themselves but the women
within the photos. Thus, Evolution of Kitchens also chronicles the harmful perception of “woman
belong in the kitchen” that has persisted throughout history.
