I am absolutely fascinated by they way I am transported into the art of Matthew Carden. I love when art is not only interesting to look at, but draws you in.... to marshmallows, peas, chocolate and cheese. Amazing.
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
As a kid I did not think much about the long term. No "I wanna be a fireman or an astronaut" memories that I can recall. The family business was there, but not an option, and my folks pretty much left it up to me to decide what to do. Art, creativity, and play have always been a part of my life. So, it seems natural that being a creative professional/artist as a Photographer would be the result. I really love what I do, and can't imagine doing anything else.
You have an amazing talent of bringing food to life and life to food. What's your secret? What inspires you?
I try to work with subjects and clients that are about things I enjoy. Married to a Chef and cookbook Author and living in Northern California the food and wine scene is big for me. I also collect old and odd toys (and small figures), so the "play" things come into my work a lot. Affecting people and getting their minds moving creatively is the most inspiring of all. Oh, and my wife and daughter of course....:)
What does 2009 hold for you?
I am excited to be expanding my website and the collections of different work that will be available for purchase and exhibition starting in April 09. I will also be adding to the "Small World" series, and that series is currently being considered for use in a calendar and a book. Just keeping our heads above water these days is the main goal, but we will still try and fun while doing it...
Thank you Matthew!!
