Winnowing (After Jade & Lexie) is a collection of images compiled while researching Less. The images' subject matter is composed of poems collaboratively written with neural-network AI, found text from a folk children's story, illustrations from Victorian-era cookbooks, found images from WWII housewife ephemera, kitchen experimentation, eBay finds, and books. In their amalgamation, these images document a kind of artistic research, sieving chaff from grain in an attempt to find meaning. —Meech Boakye
