Lasser will feature photographs of monumental sculptures called “Food Forks,” from her series “American Eats,” that replicates the mindset of individuals trying to find control in life through food and eating.”
The exhibit coincides with the annual Eating Disorders Awareness Week, which promotes positive body image through awareness and education, focusing on food, exercise and proper nutrition.
The Compton Union Gallery is open 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and is free and open to the public.
