Bobby Baker - An Edible Family in a Mobile Home, 1976

This installation took place in a prefab that baker was living in at the time.

It was a week long event featuring five family members made from cakes, biscuits, etc. During the course of the week, Baker invited guests into her home to eat the family.

"Against a backdrop of walls and surfaces covered in newsprint and magazines, and decorated with icing sugar, Baker performed as hostess. She offered food and encouraged visitors to consume, and thereby dismantle, the family. "

"Assembled from cake and adorned with icing, biscuits and other baked goods, the family members could be encountered in rooms throughout the house: the baby asleep in her cot, the son in the bath, the teenage daughter listening to the radio in her parents’ bedroom, the father slumped in an armchair in front of the television. The mother was the only mobile member of the family who moved throughout the house but was more often found in the kitchen, where visitors could enjoy a cup of tea from her head, or other soft drinks, and have fresh snacks from compartments in her abdomen

Use of the mobile mother figure: someone who is constantly on the go, occupied with satisfying everyone else's needs, being a 'good hostess'

eating the family: meant there was nothing left to hold in a museum after the week other than photographs. Eating the fruits of the mother's labour, the diminishing of hard work very quickly in a short span of time.

Polly Baker's brother's yearbook page from Princeton University: Alfred Thornton Baker III also known as "Bob"?

He is SO attached to Bob, sorry BOBBY, that he puts it on his tombstone? Of course he dies in 1983, if you were not dying in 1982-83, where you really living in the WW2 era?

Find a Grave memorial for Alfred Thornton “Bobby” Baker III born 12 Jan 1915 and died Jul 1983. Buried at Princeton Cemetery, Princeton, Mer

But looks like Polly's Mom comes down to Pinehurst, NC, "Greenlands", to visit Bob and his wife.

Recognize Pinehurst? Well, that is because it's where Mrs. Lewis Nixon, Katherine Page, resides while her husband is training with the 506 PIR. Also where Dick Winters goes for a dinner at some point and determines they are not in love and she is a gold digger.

Bobby Baker - drawing on a mother's experience, 1988

Bobby Baker performance

50 minutes

Originally intended as a one-off performance work to make sense of the first eight years of motherhood, Bobby Baker’s Drawing on a Mother’s Experience gained widespread critical acclaim and went on to be shown multiple times over the next 12 years. Having learned caution as a mother and the ability to think ahead, the performance sites Baker as a meticulously prepared action painter, who has substituted oil paint and canvas for a double bed sheet and various foodstuffs. Poking fun at her male predecessors (artists such as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning and others) Baker’s revelatory commentary interrogates domesticity, motherhood and the role of the artist, using each ingredient to represent a specific event or episode in her recent personal history.

Tate Britain will present a restaging of a major feminist artwork which has not been seen for almost 50 years: Bobby Baker's radical sculptu

Bobby Baker installation 13 Conder Street, Stepn

For this project, Bobby Baker transformed the Acme Housing Association prefab that she was living in into a week-long sculptural installation that housed an edible family of five: mother, father, teenage daughter, son, and baby.

Assembled from cake and adorned with icing, biscuits and other baked goods, the family members could be encountered in rooms throughout the house: the baby asleep in her cot, the son in the bath, the teenage daughter listening to the radio in her parents’ bedroom, the father slumped in an armchair in front of the television. The mother was the only mobile member of the family who moved throughout the house but was more often found in the kitchen, where visitors could enjoy a cup of tea from her head, or other soft drinks, and have fresh snacks from compartments in her abdomen. Against a backdrop of walls and surfaces covered in newsprint and magazines, and decorated with icing sugar, Baker performed as hostess. She offered food and encouraged visitors to consume, and thereby dismantle, the family.

Bobby Baker: ‘For the first time I decided to dispense with the problem of deciding what to wear…I would always adopt a more neutral garb, in the form of a woman’s overall. I liked the fact that it was neutral and yet deeply complex in the ways in which it could be read. Also, it was my conscious female riposte to Joseph Beuys’ macho fishing waistcoat and hat.’

Editorial: A feminist cake sculpture still has resonance nearly five decades after it was first created

Her own work has drawn repeatedly upon domesticity and motherhood, demanding that the viewer see work that usually goes unacknowledged, and has celebrated the apparently mundane or distressing in funny, inventive and exuberant ways.
