“Remember the hours and hours of art history classes—sitting in a dark room, flipping through image after image, wondering if this image or that image was going to be on the next exam? Well, I guess some of that stuck with me—there are certain artists and movements I tend to remember and connect with more than others. I’ve been inspired to use photography and food (and a bit of typography) in a Cubism inspired way. So, from this emerges my “Foodism” series. It’s a four course meal. I hope you enjoy.” –Kyle
