I always had a very active imagination, as my mother would say, I was off with the fairies. The one place where my creativity was abundant was in building things. I would spend countless hours creating strange worlds with Lego and pointless machines with my Kinects. A daily ritual was to create landscapes with my food at the dinner table, much to my parents' displeasure. 

 

I can't say I was ever taken to galleries or even interested in painting, sculpture or photography, not even in my late teens. Cinema, however, was my introduction to art, I loved to escape in the stories and imagined worlds. The realm of cinema, in particular the likes of Wes Anderson and Pixar has had much heavier influence on my photography than any painter or photographer. 

​

As I have gotten older, my taste has changed.  My love for a past I never lived through, but can dream about, got my heart set on film noir. I love the no-pulled-punches theatrical motif. 

​

I wanted to connect my burgeoning yet unfound childhood creativity with its eventual successor. My latest world of escape. Taking my anthropomorphic approach to styling everyday objects, inheriting the film noir motif and my approachable visual style, I give you Food Noir.
