Meat Cute (5 photos)

Still-life photographer Liz McBurney‘s whimsical series of images featuring pieces of processed meat was “inspired by the patterns and textures in processed meat  and how similar it is becoming to man-made fabrics,” she says. The work began as a personal project, then led to an assignment from the weekend edition of The Guardian in June to shoot photographs for an article about the race among scientists to produce artificial meat in the laboratory.

    Disgusting. Chunks of carcass are not cute.

    Very creative. My favorite was the zipper chicken, second favorite was the knitting. It is a really good way to illustrate man-made or “engineered” meat for a story. My hat’s off to the photographer, Liz McBurney, for her different take on the concept.
