EAT UP

I hope you enjoy these images. I've always been interested in what constitutes food, which varies culturally and has also morphed throughout the ages. Food at its very essence is anything a person believes they can eat. That line of thinking broadened for me, however, when I decided to photograph food. I began to extrapolate and inject other ideas and combinations onto the plate. I sought colour, abstraction, humour, absurdity.
