Artist and installation creator Thomas Chang is known to the public primarily for his culinary masterpieces. But, mind you, at the same time he is not the chef of a pretentious institution, and not even a food stylist. Needleworker Thomas Chang "prepares" food from threads, occasionally stirring it with knitting needles and a crochet hook. Its mouth-watering yet inedible cooking looks very natural and, again, is non-GMO. It's a sin not to enjoy healthy woolen food made by a young craftsman.
In general, Thomas Chung is a versatile artist and installation author. The latter for him is a way to create a special space where viewers could take a break from the usual everyday world, get into a place with their own laws.

What to do for a native of a sunny country on long winter evenings in the North? Thomas Chang started knitting and crocheting for something warm, soft, bright and fun.
Homemade knitted food and related materials have added coziness to the Australian's temporary refuge. And over time, they also glorified him.
