Cakes and Biscuits
(2017)

 

Gouache on paper
Each drawing is 140mm x 216mm

The most wonderful thing about cakes is that the outside may not give any indication of what’s going on inside.

I’ve always been interested in cakes; their potential for layering and slicing, and the possibility that someone might hide something inside one (like a metal file or a book). They are the perfect food for someone interested in cross-sections and concealment. For a short time in the early 2000s, I had a baking business with my good friend Kimberley Bell, and as a result of this, cakes will always represent for me a sort of conceptual romance laced with sugar-induced hysteria.

The photographs below show a book cake that Alexandra Bildsoe and I made and submitted to Printed Matter in New York in early 2018, and below that, biscuits (some based on ones that Kim and I made and sold) made from air-drying clay in 2017.
