Rock Cakes (2021)
Video, 2.28 min
Reminded me of the journey to Grandma’s
Wondering whether she has made her delicious rock cakes
Sometimes she had, sometimes we’d make them together
Sitting in her kitchen at the table in the middle with 4 chairs
Always set with placemats and knives and forks
Cups of tea out of old mugs or sometimes with a saucer
The two chairs in the back room that leads to the garden facing the TV
Chatting away none stop talking whilst we wait for the rock cakes to bake
Everything always in it’s place, nothing ever moves
Always sweets in the bowl, the same sweet tooth
Always the same ornaments on the window sill, the same furniture, the same pictures
Everything the same
Always the same specific smell at grandma’s
The rock cakes are ready
Sometimes we’d eat all the rock cakes but sometimes if there were any left over Grandma let us take them with us in a box or a bag
Always with a glacier cherry on top
