Food and Form

A DigitalNZ Story by erica van zon

This set is a broad range of inspirational images that deal with the form of foodstuffs and sculptural form, and sometimes where the two meet. Within this set there is a nice push and pull between reality and depiction, artificial and natural, sharp and organic, decorative and functional, abstraction and titling. Many of these objects draw in tremendous personal memories for me. I am a sculptor based in Wellington, I re-construct objects and images from the world around me using materials usually associated with craft. Recently I noticed that a lot of my work is in the form of food...
