Genealogy Plates is the result of researching my genealogy and both confirming and learning where my ancestors were from. Food is constantly used as a bridge between countries and through the project it was realised how far the recipes and traditions have changed from their original state. One 'traditional' meal was cooked from each country other than Australia and eaten on the respective hand print plates. The series reflects on whether or not my ancestors would have enjoyed the modern Australian versions of their traditional food.
