This particular artists work is very interesting because of how very 'normal' the scenes are, yet they are changed slightly, often by creating the scene in just 2 colours and revealing a few areas of human skin. This image especially is very interesting to look at, as almost every surface is covered by cheese puffs, giving it a slightly comical look, while being entirely fascinating. This shape of the cheese puffs give an excellent texture to the surfaces and make an intriguing pattern on large surfaces. What I also like about this piece is that all the poses are very natural. There's no one stood for the picture, but the action of a cocktail party is the photo.
An interesting choice of images. It's odd looking at the Corinne Day picture it looks quite like Kate Moss who she discovered, I wonder if there was an attempt to re-create a look. The Sandy Skoglund work is one of my favourites they are made as pieces of sculpture and then populated for the photograph.
