#LovingWhereWeLive with Upstream Artist @ttink.art ⁠⁠"Moments in Jars is a series of illustrations that explores how preserving food is more than just a way to eat, it's a way to capture a moment, a tradition, and a culture. Through this series I depict my relationship with food preservation – from my grandpa's raspberry jam to time spent in my kitchen, and what it feels like to open a jar of summer vegetables on a cold winter day."⁠ -Taylor Tinkham — from Instagram
