Eating Disorder

I like food

I've always liked food

I like to eat it - I love to cook it 

and share it with my friends.

It arouses all my senses and heals my wounds

It is comfort, warmth, nurture - it makes me smile

It wraps, protects, cares, loves.... 

 

I love food

delicious scrumptious succulent tasty

luscious gorgeous sensual exciting

erotic fleshy chunky greasy  

heavy fatty bulky disgusting

I hate food

 

Hilly Fletcher

Hilly's recent work, Eating Disorder is an ironic look at the relationship between food and body image in our society. Having struggled with her own body image all her life, she has decided to come out of the closet and into the kitchen! Here, sensuality and an ambiguous eroticism are played out at the dinner table!
Hilly's models are dressed up, have their photos taken and are then mercilessly eaten!

In June 2007 'Eating Disorder' formed part of a show at Heart as part of the Hebden Bridge Arts Festival, where it was noticed and then exhibited at Dean Clough Galleries in Halifax.

In the summer of 2008, following a private viewing and workshop evening, Eating Disorder was exhibited at thestudio in NW London until 23rd July. The results of the workshop evening can be viewed here.

It was later shown at Pulse Café Bar in Todmorden West Yorkshire, where it continued to generate much comment and controversy, not least because Pulse serves only vegetarian food . . . See the pictures of the show and the opening evening's extraordinary food.

A limited edition series of fine art photographs is available:
70 x 50 cm and 40 x 30 cm, framed or unframed.
