Lauren Hodges challenges herself to eat out alone, and become completely immersed in her surroundings, but do nothing. Nothing to take her mind off of her self-inflicted predicament.
Lauren Hodges writes a weekly art column for Encore Magazine. She is one of the founders of Art for Action at the Southeastern Alliance for Community Change.
