Winston Wachter Fine Art gallery is presenting Christopher Boffoli's vividly colored images of food and miniatures. The exhibition is entitled "Edible Worlds" and it runs from June 21st through August 24th. The artist Christopher Boffoli is a Seatle-based photographer, writer, and filmmaker. At home in Seattle, he works as a writer and photojournalist, producing both feature stories and covering breaking news. Christopher’s work has been published – online and in print – in more than 90 countries.
Boffoli features snapshots of massive food items and the miniatures standing on those items. This juxtaposition of scale has been inspired by films and television from the 70's and 80's (e.g., I Shrunk the Kids, and The Incredible Shrinking Woman) and the the 18th century fable, “Gulliver’s Travels.” I remember growing up watching those kind of movies and televisions shows. And those nostalgic memories I have, combined with the humorous captions underneath the pieces, are the reasons why I find this exhibition interesting and amusing.
By peeking in on these tidy figures' daily routines and stories, I found humor and felt a sense of humanity in them. I am planning to visit the gallery and see these tiny cute people in their "Edible Worlds."
