Terrible Landscapes series

It all started with this series . Somehow, I was trying to milk this for all its worth, and still am now.

It was all about equating gourmet cooking with painting in the sublime, (ah that word again, sublime, that  indefinable term that puts food and art in equal footing, a sublime piece of wagyu beef, a sublime piece of painting by caspar david friedrich). these are also my attempts at undermining food styling which I’ve been wanting earn a living for as it pays well.

This was the same series that I’ve cashed in on my participation at the 2008 Singapore Biennale.

This is my page for that show

Well, if the other bloggers have their daily bento boxes to flaunt, I have these to sell my soul for.

So, enjoy and relish these “disasters” – (btw, these compositions were based on news clippings of actual disasters and accidents.)
