Knife, Fork, Spoon; The story of our primary eating implements and the development of their form
What did we do before the creation of these avant-garde utensils? We ruined our outfits by making a mess at the dinner slab! Keeping the artist ideology of "form as function" in mind, Knife, Fork, Spoon highlights the practical use of these tools as well as the aesthetic value of each, even touching upon the use of table manners and dinner etiquette!
