Culinary Palettes book cover

I was commissioned by University of Texas Press to design the book cover for Lesley Wolff’s Culinary Palettes: The Visuality of Food in Postrevolutionary Mexican Art.

From the publisher:
“Postrevolutionary Mexico City was a site of anxious nation-building, as rampant modernization converged and clashed with the nation’s growing nostalgia for its pre-Columbian heritage. During this volatile period, food became a meaningful symbol for a Mexican citizenry seeking new modes of national participation.”
