Sleeping with cakes
Investigators Jack and Carol Clark write (actually, wrote — this note was stuck in our in pile since 1999):
On a CBC proram called “Basic Black,” a Diane Forsano was interviewed. She had just defended her master’s thesis and had it accepted. She had done her research on “love and comfort - sleeping with cakes” at Concordia University. For part of her research she made a broth of favourite items to see what effect the aroma would have (for her the favourite items she put - together as I understand it - steel-toes boots and a favourite book into the broth. Another part of her research consisted of touching 1,000 people in one month.
Forsano’s work was published as “Sleeping with Cake: and other affairs of the heart,” Drama Review, vol. 45, no. 1 (T 169), Spring 2001, pp. 59-67. More recently, in 2005, she produced “Artifacts in My Mouth,” the source of the photo here.
