An ongoing personal project by Kyle Bean recreating meals that he has made out of materials & objects found in his home studio. Kyle started the project during the Covid-19 lockdown and set himself the challenge of only using materials that he has available at home. Kyle documents the process of making the ‘meals' and then photographs the final creation on a brightly coloured background.
