Bridget with dyed eggshell installation

Bridget Waters is a local artist who makes amazing creations that transform food materials into artworks. The food is therefore used as if it were any other material such as paint, with the artist focusing on the innate qualities of each chosen medium, and highlighting it's potential. The result being stunning food artworks that are both insteresting and visually engaging while offering an alternative beauty to the traditional ideal presented.

Waters' work explores and presents wys of enjoying food other than through consumption. Although food allergies were the initial source of her ideas, Waters' most recent research has focused on the encouragement of other people's awareness of it's materiality.

Her work is not a efort to disguise the material, but rather an opportunity to chalange and provoke the viewers other senses. Using minimal intervention, the works rely on simple colour/texture relationships to create something more than just food. They become artworks in their own right.

Previous work ranges extensively from carved breads sculptures, to a dress made out of dehydrated beetroot, installations using dyed rice, forks woven with corn husks, as well as slick and sophisticated catering appointments for corporate clients.

With a B.A. (Art) majorng inFibre/textiles, waters has a very refreshing style and unique approach of crossing textiles with food.
