Crumbs Art

Had a great turnout at the Crumbs opening. Thanks to all who came to view the art!
For those who didn't get a chance to see it all, here's some of what you missed.



Cupfakes!


 Spray foam and acrylic paint iced with a lightweight spackling compound and topped with polymer clay candies

 They were everywhere!




Swallow or Spit

Banana pound cake with a glaze of powdered sugar, saliva, and semen.

I've gotten a lot of questions about this piece. Mainly, "Is it REALLY semen?" and "How did you get it?" Well, yes. It IS real semen. The title of the piece should give you a clue as to the collection method. If it doesn't, then you probably don't need to know anyway. The donor and the collector's identities are of little importance in terms of the statement I was trying to make. As for what that statement is, I'd rather not come right out and say. Art is meant to make us think. It's about having a conversation. In discussing the work with me you might find out what inspired its creation, but I'm interested in viewers' impressions as well. There's a lot there and what you see is what you get.

I'd love to know what you think and answer your questions. Post a comment!
