Homage to the real heroes that till the land and bring us food...
Statement:
Food evokes instinctual responses with its colors and textures. Food is the basis for life, part of our earliest memories, and an integral part of our daily activities. I use food as the physical environment in my work to tap into that primal connection we have with food. As much as we look at food, we rarely stop and look at it close up ...appreciate its beauty...or just play with it...:)
Toys by their nature encourage a different point of view. They mimic familiar forms and abstract our relationship to our environment. Toys connect us to a more innocent way of thinking when it was natural to look at things with an open mind.
The images I capture tell stories that are sometimes humorous, sometimes serious, and sometimes just about my memories. Let your imagination wander, explore memories, and cultivate a deeper connection to the world around us. But most of all try to keep a sense of humor about it…:)
