Are You Feeling Rich Today?

"Are You Feeling Rich Today?" Is a tongue and cheek look at the cost of butter in New Zealand today. 
A single slice of Vogels toast thickly spread with butter becomes a quiet provocation. Rendered against a gold background that reads as both luxury and distorted terrain, the humble breakfast elevated like a precious resource. Where the ordinary slips into the aspirational. A still life about inflation, with dry humour and glittery irony that begs the question, when did butter become a status symbol?
