Food Painting

Across a white canvas, dozens of individual food items are painted in careful isolation and scattered without a unifying table surface or setting a burger, bacon strips, a pink frosted donut, sushi rolls, a pizza slice, carrots, french fries, a glass of wine, a Hunts ketchup bottle, a strawberry, chocolate brownies, chocolate chip cookies, green apples, a hot dog with mustard, a cupcake, a blueberry muffin, and a jar of peach juice. Each item is rendered with its own light source and shadow, as if cut out from its original context and placed into a shared, neutral space. The work operates as both a personal inventory and a celebration of food as subject matter.
