Tastes like cardboard


Photographs by Jenni Carter

Benja Harney is the only person who could make cardboard flavours an attractive thing. He's an amazing Sydney paper artist and, last month, his work appeared as part of the Topshop Window Project at the Incu boutique in Paddington. The display included a high tea stand and another food scene, as well as Brit-themed sculptures (to tie in with the opening of Topshop).

I especially love all the detail on show: the 'curls' of the salad leaves, the curves of the pot, the flat lemon slices – adding some citrus kick to the brewed tea.

You can see more of Benja's well-cut work at his website.
