For those who know me, food and fashion are my forte-they should z.e.h. Whether it be cooking up a breakfast for dinner themed Zinner, stalking recipes on Pinterest, or perusing through my mom’s cookbooks on Shabbat afternoon, I am enamoured by food and call myself a foodie. While this obsession of mine seem all encompassing and ever so time consuming, my passion for fashion-which I see represented through the art world is very much eminent. Whether it be gallery hopping, Museum browsing, or MutualArt following, I love the art world gaining me access to the “artsy” club out there.
So, when I came across this series by Korean artist Yeonju Sung, I knew I would fall in love.
“Wearable Foods is an eye-catching series by Korean artist Yeonju Sung that presents a line of edible art. Using a variety of ingredients as her medium, the crafty artist has constructed a multitude of garments with consumable goods that include (but are not limited to) bananas, mushrooms, tomatoes, eggplants, bread, eggs, and even bubble gum.
While one may categorically define Sung’s good-enough-to-eat collection as sculptural foodwear, it is just as much a photographic series.” (mymodernmet.com)
I’m thinking of hanging these portraits in my East Village kitchen this summer, any other ideas to display this plethora of creativity at our fingertips?
