FOOD INSECURITY DIORAMAS

What’s for Dinner?

This is one of my very earliest dioramas, and probably still one of my best. As well as dealing with food insecurity, it also touches on climate change, habitat loss and plastic pollution, all in one colourful and attractive package! As installed in the lightbox, the lenticular image in the background switched from fish to fruit as you shifted your gaze. 

This diorama came together very quickly, in a single day. I started with the wading pool and mucked around with various animals. I quickly determined I wanted the polar bear with its human stance, and that determined which other animals I’d use and what the location would become.
