In the book Art as Experience, John Dewey put forward the aesthetic experiences could be found in all of life. One of the latest community art projects of artist Annie Wan is Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread, which is the Hong Kong House Project of the Echigo-Tsumari Art Field in Japan presented and funded by the Hong Kong Art Promotion Office. She has stayed in Tsuna, where Hong Kong House is, for a five-week residency and it opened a cultural dialogue with food. She always thinks cooking and ceramics making are quite similar. Both food and ceramics, which carry cultural meanings, are intimate to us in daily life. The cooking process and the making process of ceramics are also similar. They are craft of material transformation by temperature to create new substances. The Echigo-Tsumari area is a rich land with food culture. The speaker interacted with the local residents by sharing food and conducting interviews to collect stories about their relationship with food. Local resources were used and the public joined the project by participation and appreciation. She was trying to narrow the gap between contemporary art and the public.
