Are you as obsessed with Instagram as I am? No matter what I’m doing, the Internet needs to know about it. Out to brunch? Use the Rise filter. Having a good hair day? The X-pro filter will totally make you look tan. But what I love most about Instagram is the rise of artists using this media. Artist and architect Hong Yi, known as Red, is a perfect example of this. For the month of March, she vowed to play with her food daily and photograph it. What’s the twist? Each of her hilarious photographs are created using food to construct a scene!
Ranging from animal portraits to landscapes to Munch’s The Scream, Red inventively pushed herself to scale down her intensive work process and live in the moment more. Because the food would invariably wilt or brown, she had to work quickly to create the scene and then shoot it. You can read more about her 31-day food adventure here on her blog.
I love seeing the scraps in contrast with the actual artwork!
