Imagining food: Art, Aesthetics and Design

Imagining food: Art, Aesthetics and Design regards food as more than a means of sustaining life, but as a motif that colours the patterns of life.

Tasmanian artists, researchers and educators present works in a variety of forms including painting, sculpture, photography, furniture, craft, installation and mixed media. Their interpretations of food and its social, economic and environmental impacts are fascinating, beautiful and deeply satisfying.

Art made from food, playing with food and celebrating food.
