Craig Kanarick gets intimate with sweetmeats: he selects them, sorts them, and submits them to the up-close-and-personal gaze of his camera lens. What comes of these dalliances between Kanarick and his sugary subjects? Extremely detailed photographic portraits of candy that force us to look at common confections in a wholly new manner. In Kanarick's art-quality archival digital c-prints, some candies are grouped by color or type (like his print of animal-shaped candies), while others are viewed in such a close, almost abstract manner it would seem that microscopes must somehow be involved. Many are blown up to larger than life size, turning the candy depicted into something that would give a candy addict a sugar rush beyond all comprehension. Each print has been mounted behind gallery plexiglass, turning it into a collectable piece of modern art. Sad to say, this candy's not of the penny variety: one of Kanarick's limited-edition Candy Photographs (which are available at Rock Made and range between 24" x 24" to 48" x 48" in size) will set you back approximately $850 - $2500. But they sure are sweet!
