Food is a subject that has been entering my work since I began painting. I use food as a metaphor for those things we turn to that give us a false impression of security; a temporary respite from the knowledge that there really is no certainty in this world. For these paintings, I am working mainly from photographs, shooting exclusively overhead shots. After I decide on the painting's theme and composition, I search for objects and plan the particular foods that I will need. In essence, I begin to build the scene from which I will work. This part of the process is as elaborately developed and meticulously thought out as the actual execution of the painting. These paintings are done on a large scale; essentially life-size. |
