Leftovers. Are you in the middle of a Boxing Day food coma right now, or are you readying yourself to dive back in for another round? No one captures next-day decadence quite like Maisie Cousins, with her gloopy, messy concoctions of edible goods which are simultaneously revolting and appealing. Her works capture the decadence, joy and waste of enthusiastic food consumption all in one, when we’re not quite sure whether we want to reach out and take a bite, or reach for the bin. This image was shown as part of Dipping Sauce at Elephant West in 2018.
