fig. 20a Mona in Toast, from Ripley's Perhaps a recreation of the example shown above. From Ripley web-site. The Mona Lisa on Toast by Tadhiko Okawa recreated Da Vinci's Mona Lisa ... from pieces of burnt toast. Okawa creates these edible works by etching the picture on aluminum foil, wrapping each piece of toast in a section of foil, cuting out the design, then toasting it in a horizontal toaster. From Personal Projects -- Extraordinary Works from Ordinary Objects. The World of Ripley's Believe-it-or-not. New York, Black Dog and Levinthal Publishers, 1999, p. 100. [approximate citation.] |
