Food for Thought

On a whim I searched for scrapbooking with charcoal. It didn't really come up with anything like I thought it would but I did find a few intresting pictures, as well as some that lead me to other artistic mediums.

A bookmark so all her 'books can wear pearls'. On this search I also came across some charcoal grilled chicken made me a little hungry. Also made me think of food in terms of art. So food as an art form. Initially i thought of those artpaintsing made from burnt toast.

But it doesnt even have to have a picture on it to be art. I watch the food Network alot and they often have competitions where the actual look of the cake, or sugar sculpture was the determinent on who the winner was. They even use the word sculpture. Among other food art I've found. Below : canned food stacked up for food drive competition Not a sculpture, but made entirely out of melted sugar...

Done your Math homework ?

We're not really talking calculus or quantum mechanics, but I was actually thinking about today how much math at least I use in art, or in that patterns of art. Until recently I could not remember the guys name (as one of my other professors reminded me) but I think of Sol Lewit when I mention this. But not only artwork like his, but the strange bits and pieces we use in everyday artwork, measuring put a space, just using a ruler to try and get a straight box is sometimes a challenge (when you're having an off day).Geometric structures, mathematically determined line movement in specifically simple (yet complicated looking) directions are one of the more interesting forms of artwork, for whatever reason I think this it remains the same and I wanted to know about how others use math either consciously or subconsciously when you do your art. How ridged is it or is it all organic in nature.
