Meals on Wheels

Apart from teaching on Tuesdays at the School of Art in Colchester delivering meals is my Sunday job.

Meal deliveries in Suffolk last Sunday.

Photos taken on the move
from
my car journey,
main courses and puddings,
places,
army territory,
pictures on walls in homes,
a key safe,
trolley and
the work depot and base.

I am intrigued to know what kind of images will decorate the corridors, staircases and common sitting rooms in my future residential home? A Hirst, Warhol, Emin, Doig or Koons?

Yes, that's what the meals look like from the outside.
It is hot.
Some clients want to eat it later and put the oven on for me to put it in. Others wait with a tray at the front door. For others we take the lids off and put it on a tray or plate it up. Some might need cutting the meat.

Most clients seem to prefer the puddings to the main course.
I think it's the custard which is a winner.
Some say they'd rather just have three puddings.

The gentleman who lives in this cottage is deaf.
He is waiting for the knock on the window in an armchair next to the window. You can hear him shuffling to the door.

He always says the nicest 'Thank you' once you put the food on his trolley in the sitting room.

His milk bottles.

Flowers in his front garden.

Suffolk skies inbetween meals.

I also pass military architecture in this part of coastal Suffolk.

Back at the depot you can see oven trays and defrosting ovens in the 'kitchen'.

These very hot and heavy plastic mats line polystyrene boxes in which the meals travel by car to the client.

Happy Easter!

    CLAUDIA BÖSE,  a painter based in Ipswich, Suffolk.
     
    I construct my paintings through process, led by daily life, history and nature. I hope my ongoing engagement with light, colour and forms creates a new perception.

    I am inspired and guided by the painterly process and its relation to abstraction; the way I handle paint invites an audience to consider my work without prejudice.
    Decisions about when and how I use paint are also strongly guided by my empathy for work which has been created by other women painters.


    I am drawn to regions which could be described as, geographical and psychological borderlands, especially those which have been interpreted throughout history by artists and writers.

    Recently I began working in a new studio based high in the church tower of a modernist church in Ipswich; this is also adjacent to our allotment.
    The very unusual perspective in tandem with attending to plants has already provided a different grounding and enrichment for my work.
