Having worked his
way through university
in Canterbury
in one of the UK's first daily farmers» markets with an on - site food hall and restaurant using only locally - sourced produce, Trayte draws from his culinary
background, creating beautifully made, voluptuous and often vibrantly coloured casts of food
in bronze, ceramic or concrete that comment on
contemporary society's production, marketing and consumption of food.
