Hunger Print

Culinary imaginary is often a safe-place. Depictions of food are usually placed in the realm of still life. They are a comfortable subject. But is that always the case? Hypertrophied, gruesomely oversized, engorged platters full to the brim of steaming food populate, horrify, dominate and devour the imaginary of the hungry. But never is their power greater then over those who go hungry beyond anyone else's control. Eating disorders are a very specific type of torture, sometimes crueler then famine. My series dwells on the culinary phantasms of those who go hungry of their own accord, unable to escape. I chose to use felt tips and colored markers because they to control every mark, and to build largescale images out of small individual dashes of color (little bites perhaps...). It is a technique mostly used for small sized art and illustration and it is often associated with children's art, and it is precisely for that that I felt it could provide me with the control as well as the comforting feeling of familiarity and homeliness that would allow me to "tame" a theme that was for a long time to large to chew.
