Artist Gina Davison is blending her work as a commercial food photographer with her artistic expression with “foodie” still life highlighted in an exhibition titled “Food Stories,” featuring 15 new and recent photographic works as part of Fotoseptiembre, that opens with a reception from 6-9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6 at Bihl Haus Arts Gallery, 2803 Fredericksburg Road. The exhibition runs through Sept. 27.

“Food is more than just something that physically sustains us,” Davison explained. “There are so many different aspects to it. There’s a saying that ‘we eat with our eyes,’ and food is a very visual experience. But it can also be political whereas food can be plenty and immediately available to the wealthy, but not always so accessible to the poor.”

Overall, “Food Stories,” the artist said, will illustrate people’s love or appetite for food.
