Matthew Brady
Matthew Brady’s taste tests uses unusual materials ranging from bees to make water to created images. In this series he uses food items such as cheez wiz to kool aid to create ink which he then uses to screen print photographs of iconic American landscapes. The resulting pictures often have the look of a sweet shop with a bright, glossy, non-naturalistic, even garish, colour palette. Their sweetness is partly attractive in a childlike way but we are also slightly repulsed by the artificial, sugary surfaces of these confections. Brandt He uses both the RGB and CMYK colour models to make the prints and reminds us that the digital images we consume are as artificial as sweets.
When handed a printed out image, or was hard to destinguish what way up it went or what the photo was. However it created a comfortable soft, seeet feeling as if resembled cadiploss and a pillows. How ever at the same time it created the sense of hearing sizzling from corrosion of acid on rocks or sweets |
