Pinar Yolcan

Pinar Yolcan was born in Turkey. Pinar studied fashion design in London, now works with the media of photography however her artistic practise is still rooted in fashion as she hand makes the costumes for her models and her work is concerned with issues of beauty and status. Her costumes have been mainly created from meat and offal and so are perishable and transient, they have to be made on the day of the shoot or frozen.

"I think I’m so interested in raw food because of its transient quality. Anything organic that doesn't have a permanence shows passage of time and I am fascinated by that." Pinar Yolcan

The images above are from her series 'Perishables', where she created portraits of mature women wearing raw meat in colours and textures similar to their own skin
Pinar Yolcan's work is being exhibited by the Saatchi Gallery as part of 'Out of Focus' an exhibition of contemporary photography.

I have spent the whole weekend making toast. Thank you Natasha for modeling the final toast dress. I am now going to hang my toast washing on the line for the birds.

Inspiration 'toast', this is French jeweler Marie Pendarie's 'La traine' my mind is now exploding with the possibilities of toast, I hope yours is too.

Slicing and Printing

The food project continued today with more slicing and printing fruit and vegetables. The NC's painted them in vivid clashing colours, combinations to make your eyes wince.

Food Fashion Project

The food project got off to a great start today, lovely photocopied sliced fruit and lots of sliced orange gave us all food for thought in developing a food fashion portfolio, and left a lovely fresh smell. The food project is in response to a request for student work towards an exhibition at the Scottish Fisheries Museum; 'A Taste of Europe' and a exhibition about Healthy Eating at The Adam Smith College.
