Food for Thought

This series is an introspective rumination on food from my childhood.

In essence they are ‘self-portraits’ that represent memories both vivid and abstract.

Stories of ordinary things told through the lens of my memory - where recollection becomes distorted, faded or heightened.

Significance has been given through the presence - and absence - of light, tonality, contrast, and a restrained colour palette.

Various optical distortions generated in the studio act to hide, reveal and blur, as symbolic of memories becoming harder to reach over time.
