Lunchtime Sketches

In this sketch series, we are immersed in a food notebook which (i) traces the elegance and whimsy of old, elaborately set meals, (ii) explores the new, foreign intricacies of a lunch at a Japanese restaurant near the Opera Garnier, and (iii) finally unpacks a tin box containing cookies that are key to the artist’s childhood memories. The result is a warm, intimate set of illustrations that use food as evocations and placeholders of learning, aesthetics and memory.
