Jessica Dance’s Knitted Comfort Food

Professional hand-crafter Jessica Dance gives new meaning to “comfort food” with this series of soft, wooly depictions of foods that look good enough to eat. Made in collaboration with photographer David Sykes, these images evoke a strange reaction from the viewer by looking so much like foods that we are familiar with consuming, while simultaneously being made from materials that we are familiar with snuggling into.
