About the exhibit:
My exhibition, Sculptures of the Sweet and Savoury, was initially inspired by Claes Oldenburg’s The Store (1961) but has since evolved into something much different. I am constantly influenced by the unique shapes and colours of various food items and greatly motivated by other food-art sculptors such as Jeff Nebeker and Kamber Carroll, among several others. The most significant challenges I faced while developing this exhibition were complications with certain materials. The process involved a lot of trial and error, but in the end, I am proud of what came of my hard work. It is incredibly important to me that I create art that brings me happiness and is truly based on subjects I enjoy, such as food!
