Cardiac Arrest Published by Faine Contemporary Art
This year the theme of the artists' charity event at the Chelsea Arts Club was to design an original serving platter; mine was a simple A to Z spiral of those foods we all, or at least most of us, love such as: pasties, doughnuts and chips. At social events such as garden parties, award ceremonies or charity functions the staff serving the little sausages on sticks are usually mobbed by swarming gannet like guests, while those offering the more healthy options stand around like dates who have been stood up. The idea of 'bad for you' foods' provided the starting point for a print that combined two spirals, one an A to Z of starters and main courses, the other with an alphabet of puddings. 'Cardiac Arrest' is a signed and numbered limited edition comprising 5 digital prints on stretched canvasses, each one painted with an acrylic protection varnish and glaze on the food images. |
