edible landscape

082901
London-based photographer Carl Warner uses bits and pieces of food as the medium for his still-life photography landscape series. The detailed and intricate set of scenes are built entirely from ingredients: cubed fruits and vegetables, loaves of bread, fresh fish, and deli meats are just a selection of the edibles integrated into each setting. Heaps of crusty bread are reinterpreted as mountain-scapes, and spaghetti strands assume the form of a river’s tide. Warner and his team meticulously assemble the culinary elements piece by piece, creating interpretations of renowned architectural structures, like the Taj Mahal and the Great Wall of China, human figures ranging from gondola drivers to cowboys, and vistas of sweeping vast deserts to a tiny Tuscan marketplace.
The video below exposes Warner’s creative process during the making of one of his foodscapes, beginning with sketches of the layout of the overall scene, then identifying which food product would most closely and realistically resemble a part of a real environment:

Tom Foerstel : Founder & President

Tom Foerstel

Founder & President

Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 60’s, Tom developed a strong desire to create positive change for people and planet.

He went on to pursue his passion for art and design at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, and worked for design firms in Southern California before moving to Boise, Idaho in the early 80’s. Foerstel Design opened its doors in 1985. Since its inception, the firm has cultivated a bold, happy, forward-looking team focussed on creating distinct and effective work on behalf of their clients.

An integral part of Tom’s philosophy is giving back to the community in which he lives — a company cornerstone that drives Foerstel’s long history of providing pro-bono services to local non-profit humanitarian and arts programs.

One of Tom’s proudest personal achievements is his ability to say Supercalifragilisticexpyalidocious backwards.
