Placed, thrown or piled upon a large dining room table at the downtown Kansas City's Paragraph Gallery were hundreds of pieces of clothing, pairs of shoes and bedding items. One might think this display was odd, especially when it could be seen through the windows of the gallery. I threw my gently used clothes on the top, on the sides, and under the table. It looked like a work of art - and it temporarily was - until its delivery to the Salvation Army. The other art pieces in the gallery, all food themed, were part of The Dining Room Project, A Potluck Smorgasbord. "Menus" going along with the installation were offered as "side dishes." The ones I was sorry to be missing were the edible LaMar's donuts and coffee installation as well as the Farm Tour at Green Dirt Farm where I could have walked a bucolic pasture walk, toured a milking parlor and tasted sheep's milk cheese.
