As an 80's kid, the Viennetta was the poshest of desserts - a treat that was only for special occasions.
Since working in factories as a teenage, I've always been fascinated by processed food. From the pastiche design of the individual products, to the economics of the industrialised manufacturing processes. In many cases the market leaders are branded versions of long established traditional foods that have beed adapted, with certain (sometimes all) ingredients or production methods substituted for more affordable mass production consumerism. As an artist interested in making processes, sculpting techniques and materials - during the covid lockdown when I couldn't go to my studio, one of the few 'normal things' most of us could do was go food shopping, which meant I suddenly had a perishable source of material to creatively play with in my kitchen instead of my studio.
