Description

For this series of images, I wanted to branch out in two different directions while
following the same theme. The images I have created show still lifes
that would make up the body of a cookbook which I one day hope to produce.

With this series of images, I sought to elevate the ingredients of several dishes, in
order to “show off” the individual elements of a dish that may be lost or overlooked in
the final product. As such, I sought to create a figure-based collage with each recipe,
combining ingredients much like one would combine them in a recipe, yet also allowing
them to retain enough of their form to allow them to stand on their own as well—
much like they would in a good, well thought-out recipe. By drawing attention to these
small, individual elements of each recipe, we can examine the form and aesthetic of
those things in our food that we may not even realize are there. I feel that by drawing
attention to ingredients in such a manner, we can understand them more, and by
appreciating their form and aesthetics, or engaging with them in a way which draws
some reaction from the viewer/”taster” we can thus gain a greater appreciation for
what we eat.
