In a new series, Jessica Dance makes comfort food give you a whole new level of warm, fuzzy feelings with knitted wool. The artist created some of her favorite foods in crafty versions and then displayed her creations in cleverly positioned photos. Some of the featured foods include a cheeseburger and fries, a hot dog, a turkey dinner and a traditional English breakfast complete with eggs, tea and a fried tomato.
The artist paired up with photographer David Sykes on this project, called 'The Comfort Food Series.' The pictures will not only leave you feeling hungry for standard North American cuisine, but also with a desire to cuddle and squeeze each impossibly soft-looking item.
In the past, Jessica has created a variety of other objects out of knitted wool, including animalistic heads.
