The Unbearable Lightness of Being Hungry | A Sydney Food Blog

Tastes like cardboard

Benja Harney is the only person who could make cardboard flavours an attractive thing. He’s an amazing Sydney paper artist and, last month, his work appeared as part of the Topshop Window Project at the Incu boutique in Paddington. The display included a high tea stand and another food scene, as well as Brit-themed sculptures (to tie in with the opening of Topshop).

I especially love all the detail on show: the ‘curls’ of the salad leaves, the curves of the pot, the flat lemon slices – adding some citrus kick to the brewed tea.

You can see more of Benja’s well-cut work at his website.

About

Hi, I'm Lee Tran Lam. When not blogging with my mouth full, I'm usually writing, presenting Local Fidelity on FBi radio, making zines, producing podcasts or continually breaking promises about how I really am gonna get through my book pile one day.

All the good pictures on this blog are by photography ace (and patient boyfriend), Will Reichelt, (all the dodgy ones can be credited to me)!

The lovely banner is by friend and ultra-talented illustrator Grace Lee.

This site redesign was made possible by the next-level generosity and expertise of Daniel Boud, whose code-tinkering ways are only outranked by his seriously inspired way with a camera.

You can read more about my co-conspirators here.

This is a blog I do for pure fun and zero influence – there's no sponsorship, sneaky advertorial or advertising. I pay for all the food mentioned, 'cos it seems the ethical thing to do.
