Description
Elisabeth Sweet’s PIE describes a relationship — the friction between what we crave, what we need, and what we get. PIE serves two, satisfies none, and seeks to release one from patterned illusions of control. Sweet handwrote the poem with a stylus, made the digital paper using black & white film, and created five different flavors: Cherry, Blackberry, Lemon Meringue, Pumpkin, and Mud. The poem is the same across the five flavors, which are differentiated by the color of the smudge on each page. Six editions of each flavor produces a total of 30 slices. At a later date in 2024, Sweet will release a special 1 of 1 edition of PIE which incorporates sound.

Poem
PIE: serves 2, satisfies none. First, prepare filling. Simmer your secrets, Cool your contempt with my soft breath — blow — wait. Mix some sugar with your sorrow, to thicken your resolve to stay. Next, make crust. Remember: coldness ensures flakiness. Pulse the pieces of our story together, until thoroughly blended and bound. Press the past into a ball — compact, make it painless. Roll out your doubt with care not to tear at fragile fears. Transfer the matter, remain delicate. Pinch together the edges of our potential. Add the filling, our fruit. Last, submit to heat. But I can’t burn for 2. I try to remind you of our flame, Tell you what you’re made of, your consistency. Conjure what you could be. But you don’t believe me, anymore. It’s not easy, anymore. You don’t see us, anymore. Love fades to smoke and I rise to remember that I don’t know how to bake and I don’t like pie.
