Comfort Food - Penne Pasta

A large piece of hand-quilted penne pasta.  You can hug it, you can squeeze it, but you can't eat it.

Photos also taken in Hawkhill Medical Centre with Ben Bainbridge and additional Sally Hackett.

A more detailed shot taken in the photo studio but it does look a bit sad and squashed here.  Definitely better in person.

Wrapping Up

Such a neglectful blogger!  The past couple of months leading on from the pasta drawings have (finally!) resulted in a clearer idea about what I'm doing in project wise, hurrah!  And have resulted in me making work which I never quite expected I would do, nice that isn't it?  I started of looking at literal meanings of phrases, first with 'A Transitional Object' (post to follow) and then moving on to look at literal comfort foods.  I've mainly been working around the phrase 'Home Comforts' and have been looking at the ideals of folk art and crafts paired with the literal meanings.  The result is:  quite humorous, a bit strange and very squishy.  What more could I ask for?
