Our "Big Idea"

When DJ first arrived at Avoca we were unsure what avenue we were going to go down when decorating. We were given beef and we wanted to include DJ's name and personality into the artwork.When we started researching we were surprised and a little ashamed at how much food went to waste in todays society.
We spoke about how things had changed since our parent's and grandparent's time. A lot of our elders were bought up on farms, they didn't have a supermarket to pop down to to get food. In their day they killed and butchered their own beasts, they couldn't afford to be fussy about what they ate so nothing went to waste.
They had creative ways to use all of the beast, they tanned the hide to use for clothing and other things.
We have demonstrated the nothing goes to waste concept in our art work by labelling the different cuts of beef. We also included some receipes that have unusual cuts of meat in them that used to be used in past times.



On the other side of DJ we focused on sustainable farming. We have included pictures of renewable resources like wind farms and solar power.
