I make the future palatable.
Marmalade Bleue is the innovative studio of Danielle Duncan (hi hello! she/her), a multi-hyphenate American artist based in Paris.
I founded Food Typography, a sub-genre of design, in 2013 when I discovered food and objects speak their own languages within our everyday lives. I combined everyday items with thoughtful lettering to create photographic commentary on society, consumerism and the human existence. This work was soulful, ephemeral, and shockingly a huge hit with global brands and individuals alike.
When augmented reality emerged, I saw the potential to bridge the physical and digital worlds. The shelf life of my work is preserved and enhanced through a technology, available to anyone with a device. The familiar textures and shadows blend into the existing environment, making the future more human. My work currently spans advertising, activism, fine arts and events.
