What would you do if you were walking along your usual route and saw a basket of apples or bags of potato chips, sitting in a public space with a note, inviting you to enjoy the food?
Would you take an apple, a bag of chips? Would you take two bags of chips? Would you be delighted by this encounter? Or would you be suspicious of the offering?

I Defy Any Lover Of Painting To Love A Picture As Much As A Fetishist Loves A Shoe

OED defines “fetish” as the following:
1. A form of sexual desire in which gratification is linked to an abnormal degree to a particular object, item of clothing, part of the body, etc.
2. An excessive and irrational devotion or commitment to a particular thing:
3. An inanimate object worshipped for its supposed magical powers or because it is considered to be inhabited by a spirit.

My relationship with the notion of the East is hypothetical, consumerist, and derivative. I am a second-generation Chinese-Canadian with no firsthand experience of China. Much of what I am surrounded by has been made and shipped from overseas. Images that are conveyed via film, media and art inform my understanding of Asian lifestyles and landscapes. Likewise, Chinoiserie motifs are an appropriation of the romanticized Oriental into a palatable format more easily digested by Westernized ideals.
