"Contemporary cultures are often extremely fast and ever-changing. My practice engages with slower tasks which demand commitment and help us to focus our attention. In my paintings, I depict activities such as growing plants and preparing and sharing tea, which also are parts of my daily life."
In her Safe Space series, Tagada Hoffbeck's paintings were shown with audio recordings and her textiles dyed with the peels of food she grew.
