Dana Tindall

“This art is about liking things. I make these pieces because they are images of what people know and like. On the surface they don’t offend and are friendly. I make them a bit oversized and out of proportion to draw attention to them, invite comments/conversation and hopefully a laugh or two. Humor as a part of these pieces is important to me. Food is an easy target for this kind of imagery, we consume and relate to it constantly in the day-to-day world, and who doesn’t like birthday cake, pie a la mode, potato chips and hotdogs? This work is great for hanging in a kitchen, over a bar, even in a restaurant; it goes anywhere where people hang out, eat and drink. They can be conversation starters or trigger memories.”
