Carrot Cake House by Erin Gleeson

Aspiring Hot Shot Erin Gleeson grew up on an apple orchard where she aspired to follow family tradition and study the tricky art of the kitchen. But rather than heading off to culinary school, she found herself mastering photography in the big apple itself. And guess what she's doing now, photographing food of course. Starting off with a more traditional method for depicting some of our most dangerous temptations, she's recently decided to complicate matters for us...

On the glossy pages of magazines and ads we are trained to desire certain things that look a certain way. I decided to play with the advertising aesthetic by inserting pages from magazines as backdrops for my food––in a way placing them into desirable situations in order to tempt the viewer. In this way I question what it is that we are supposed to desire, supposed to want and supposed to have.
