Take, Eat  is a ceramic table set installation, and performance piece that debuted at Harwood Art Center in 2020 as part of Helen's solo exhibition "Soft." The stoneware set mimics the internal organs of the torso. The table setting, and its belly-portrait- backdrop reference the last supper. The vessels become a eucharistic ritual, further emphasized in the video performance where Atkins and Geusz eat from the body. The piece draws a parallel between wellness and religious rituals and their promise of a “new body.” The short video piece is an act of rebellion against diet culture and skinny supremacy. It also captures another transformation as the contents of the organ vessels dwindle and figures move and change throughout the course of the meal.
