Artist Statement
What could be a more natural topic for portraying human life than all those things included in Food + Drink + Accoutrements? We nourish, celebrate, comfort and console ourselves with food and drink. We mark special occasions and everyday necessities. We reach back to previous times and places with an old teacup, family recipes and attempts to duplicate dishes from near and far. Food can be a time machine. The aroma of biscuits fresh from the oven takes us back to Grandmother’s kitchen. Perhaps that is one of the reasons that I so often photograph food. One day my grandchildren just might momentarily transported back to their childhoods in the pictures.
