Terry Border takes playing with your food to the level of an art form. Using still photography and wire sculpture, his longtime project "Bent Objects" stages food items and other small objects in bizarre, inventive scenarios. Much like the action figure photography of Chris McVeigh or the pioneering claymation work of Will Vinton, "Bent Objects" creates its own universe, one in which previously inanimate objects assume a new sense of scale and a bizarre sense of purpose. It's not hard to imagine a hallucination-filled sequel to "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" featuring set designs and animations from Terry Border. Only it would have to be a more positive and fun-sounding title, like "Delight and Imagination at the Breakfast Table."

What's most remarkable to me about "Bent Objects" is not just the picture-perfect personifying and juxtaposing of food objects, but how consistently great they are. A scroll through the samples on Terry's website shows the following: a posse of marshmallows holding up a match to a tied-up traitor marshmallow, a trio of zombie peanuts cracking open the shell of a victim and eating his insides, and an old raisin with a cane tottering through a cluster of ripe, green grapes. It's like reading a series of offbeat short stories, a sensation that's only aided by the witty, succinct captions. As the late Roger Ebert once said of Border's work: "brilliant."
