A continuation of the food-related art series.
#5 Prudence Staite, Food is Art
Prudence Staite is a UK artist specializing in the sculpture of food materials - chocolate, cheese, fruit and vegetables, even cupcakes. Inspired at an early age, sculpting a penguin from a pear at age 6, Staite has always wanted to work with food. Her success is evidenced by the business she has grown, with many clients requesting custom work and a team she can call on to help. Her website, Food is Art explains the processes involved, from ordering, designing, delivering, installation, breakdown, disposal and recycling.
Staite holds demonstrations, workshops and provides photos and even time-lapsed videos.
100 kg of red cheddar were used to make this sculpture.

This 10-ft long caterpillar, made of whole-grain cereals, went on a tour to London, Liverpool, Brighton, Glasgow and Bristol.

Prudence Staite and her team can create whatever the mind can conceive, from chocolate sofas, a likeness of a celebrity and even this working chocolate record that works just like a vinyl record and plays "You Sexy Thing" by the band Hot Chocolate.
#6 Sarah Illenberger
German artist, Sarah Illenberger loves to create visual puns using food. Hot peppers become the flame of a lighter, a slice of watermelon rains seeds, beets are exquisite rubies and a pomegranate becomes a grenade.
Illenberger is a Berlin-based artist, illustrator and designer. Her photographs of her art can be found in public places, books, magazines, digital media and window displays.
Food art is only a small part of her business - she also creates jewellery and fabric art. Prints of her works can be found in her online shop.
