MINIATURE FOOD

I came across these images of amazingly cute thumbnail sized crafted food pictures. Anything from miniature sushi platters to minature cupcakes and desserts. I literally couldn't stop typing in any foods that came into my head to see if there had been a recreation in miniature form, the search was endless and so entertaining I really loved them.

Microscopic Figures - Big Appetite by Christopher Boffoli 

Still-life drawings are usually comprised of a sketch, but Big Appetites by Christopher Boffoli is a new series of fine art photography that captures tiny figurines toying with food objects. 

These mini figurines are depicted in a food environment that’s meant to evoke Boffoli’s statement regarding excessive food indulgence in American culture. These still-life sculptures are taken in a moment of action while dealing with captured crayfish, ice cream cones, Toaster Strudels and more. 

The titles of each photograph are peculiar and each convey a deeper sense of meaning. For example, the photograph entitled ‘Exotic Pets’ shows a group of tiny men hauling a ‘giant’ crayfish. These references link back to Boffoli’s attempt to portray America’s excessive indulgence when dealing with food. The images show people dealing with an abundance and overflow of food.
