Justin Walker combines his commercial practice with a fine art aesthetic to modify compositional reality with a surrealist storytelling flair. Specializing in culinary photography and conceptual still-life, Walker’s work reflects an abiding fascination with taste as a concept beyond bodily sensation. In his own words, taste is “more inside your head than in your tongue,” something elusive and seductive that resides in style and feeling as well as food. Daddy Bruce experiments with the registers of taste, laying out a feast for different types of appetite.
