Artist Statement
A friend of mine says that inside every starving artist there’s an over-eating sub-conscious clawing to get out. As a painter of hyper-realistic food still-lifes I know all too well the temptation to”eat the props” at the end of a long studio session.
The idea for “Sealed For Your Protection”? came to me one day in the “fake food” aisle at my local big-box store. Read the label. The Twinkie, for all its iconicity, is a collection of shelf-stable chemicals that is definitely not the sort of thing anyone should be eating. Need proof? It is “food” wrapped in plastic. In other words, sealed for your protection. From yourself.
