For as long as I can
remember, I’ve always been
told by my mother never to
play with my food so this
week’s challenge was a
tough one! The whole thing
was done in the privacy of
my room, doors and
windows bolted shut of
course! I chose sliced bread
for the mission, the goal
was to create a “mode
board” with our favorite
shapes.
3.
Cutting up bread into
different shapes sounds
pretty easy and
uncomplicated enough
but the thought of
reframing food into art
was enough to give me
a pause. So after a few
cuts, I put the scissors
down and ponder…
4.
The cutting resumes. I
try not to waste breads.
The basic shapes are
easy enough but lets
see how the rest of it
goes….
5.
I’ve got a circle, a
square, a triangle, a
semi-circle and a
rectangle. Mabel says
she loves circles and
that’s because all her
favorite things come in
circles. Things like the
moon, polka dots and
pancakes.
6.
A few more shapes
have been added. You
can see a heart shape
there. It took 2slices to
get that perfect shape!
7.
I’m done cutting. Now
I’m placing the shapes on
the board. The fabric that
acts as the backdrop is
called “Adire”, a local tie
and dry fabric that is
particularly popular in
these parts. My favorite
shape has got to be the
Star! It was the most
difficult to achieve(
3bread slices) and to
me, it stands out!
8.
The curious shape
beneath the star is an
oval. I like to think of it
as the all seeing
eye…some of my
favorite things are oval.
Eggs included!
9.
All done! Just adjusting
their settings on the
board and we are good
to go. Hard to believe
that this all bread sans
the board of course.
10.
The alphabet was just
an after thought. A
prequel to a new career
in bread carving
perhaps?
11.
Bread, a meal made from
dough of flour has always
been known as food. This
challenge opened us up to
the fact that it could be
more. Art being just one
of the many other
fabulous ideas I’m certain
my classmates will come
up with. So in reframing
bread, instead of bread is
food, we say, bread is art!
