Playing With Food

April 4, 2013 6:47 PM

Malaysian artist-architect "Red" Hong Yi creates evocative scenes and playful characters with all-edible materials. She's creating art with a different meal every day until April 7th and posting them on her Instagram site. Examples of Hong's previous work include a coffee-stain portrait of Taiwanese pop star Jay Chou and one of Aung San Suu Kyi using dyed flowers.

These are gimmicky, but actually great.

These are great fun; I enjoyed the variety of textures and colors used as well as the many surprising effects. Gimmicky, perhaps, but still brilliantly great.

Yeah, these are great. I recommend going through her blog for a few pages, she's done some interesting large scale projects as well. Kudos to her for executing her ideas.
