Bompass and Parr - Coronatine Food Challenge

As we all found ourselves locked down at the beginning of the coronavisus pandemic, many of us turned to art.
​Being confined to my home gave me a limited palate to work with and the time I wanted and needed to create.
These are my submissions to the provocations set by the incredible British creative food team, Bompass and Parr.
