Food as a theme



The artist that have inspired my theme of food are firstly Christopher Boffoli in the initial stages. I found a humorous and amusing quality to how he uses food as a set and scene for his miniature people. 






This led me to look for other artists who use food as a theme. I found the work of Shay Aron 
and Kim Burke who both make amazingly realistic miniature food out of polymer clay that look good enough to eat.

From what I have found, it seems that miniatures have a cuteness to them and is something that many people are fond of, and I think this applies particularly to miniature food. I think the theme of food is attractive as well as humorous. On top of this everyone can relate to food as it’s something that we all need. I want my theme to be about the cuteness and for it to be aesthetically pleasing and I am hoping for a happy, admiring kind of reaction.
