Edible and Non-Edible Art #1 and 2

Today's post is the beginning of a series devoted to food portrayed in the arts. Or perhaps it's a continuation of the theme from the Pi Day post - pies as objets d'art. 

I think there about a dozen artists to feature so I'll try for two per post once in a while over the coming weeks and see how we get on. I found these artists through @womensart1 on Twitter as part of their campaign for #WOMENSART.

Let's start with breakfast. 

#1 Judith G. Klausner


Embroidered Egg on Toast, Judith G. Klausner

#1 is US artist, Judith G. Klausner. Her bio states that she enjoys playing with her food. Here's one of her cameo Oreos.

Oreo Cameo, Judith G. Klausner

Klausner's website is very interesting to browse through, lots of unusual artwork there. She sells 3-D prints of her Oreo Cameo series.

#2 Caitlin Freeman 


Caitlin Freeman is a food artist and pastry chef, formerly at the Blue Bottle Cafe at San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art. She finds inspiration there for recreating artworks that are consumable. Here is her Mondrian Cake on the front cover of her 2013 book:


Here's a sampling of other treats:
