• Artist Statement

  Synonymous with the words Food and Art, Bridget Waters is quickly becoming recognized as Perth’s leading Food Artist. Waters is an installation artist who makes amazing creations that transform edible 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 its potential.

  The result being, stunning food artworks that are both highly considered, and visually engaging, while offering an alternative beauty to the traditional ideal presented.

  Bridget Waters' work explores and presents ways of enjoying food other than through consumption alone. 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 its materiality. Food plays such an intrinsic part in our lives and yet when taken for granted, it loses its’ essence. An essence Bridget Waters skillfully regains with both elegance and humor.

  Bridget Waters' work is not an effort to disguise the material, but rather, an opportunity to challenge 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.
