This is a  two-channel video installation, that included a series of large format photographs and text works. This project premiered in Atlanta, Georgia at William Turner Gallery in 2009.

At the core of the concept is the sense of the endless task, or perhaps the ourobouros, and the attention paid to arriving. The primary conundrum is the idea of progressive movement that would seem to be illusory. A series of questions are asked, though never answered, a narrative seems to appear but is never explained, and the concept of movement is toyed with while the primary male character (whose name is never given) moves to a bench, sits, moves back to a house, sits again. The video is inter-cut with circular activities a car race, a rodeo with bulls and walking upstairs, through the house and back out again.

"All You Can't Eat and Other Tales of Waiting," depicts the primary subject in a constant state of waiting and motion as he moves from one state to another.  The bull in the rodeo is waiting to be released, the cowboy is waiting to ride, the car driver is waiting to win, the man is waiting for an answer.

I made this project at the height of the economic crash in the U.S. which brings us to the --- "what you can't eat" part of the title.  At that time, people were coming off, "just another" high of big spending and lavishness and a sense of entitlement.  Even more egregious (in my mind) was the idea that if you weren't living high on the hog, so to speak, then something was wrong with you; you had not fulfilled your mandate as a "successful American" and there was a huge amount of shame associated with poverty in America.  So I wrote about this, as well as making the primary guiding line of this piece, "Poverty is a Luxury I Can't afford" and "The Platter is All I can Eat"
