Veggie Burst

Found art

I am forever grateful to the artist who saw fit to photograph this delicate arrangement of fruit, nut, and flower, as well as to whomever left this piece on the street for the next foodart connoisseur to enjoy.I do love when art mimics life.

Veggie Inspiration

Like C and her masterful artichoke portrait, I have given this photograph a place of honor in my kitchen. During an internship in upstate New York, my roommates and I stayed in nightmarish quarters in the basement of a bed and breakfast. Inexplicably, this faded poster was displayed in a broken frame (part of which is visible here) in the kitchen, hanging sadly by a bit of wire. We took a photograph, and that picture is currently displayed in my NYC kitchen. If I have anything to say about it, it will grace the kitchens of all my future living spaces. I love its hideousness beyond measure. It seemed somehow worth sharing...

Art of the 'choke

It has hung in the kitchen of every apartment I've lived in, a constant reminder of a) artichokes and b) my innate artistic ability. Once, it also served as a home to a large family roaches, which I learned as I took it down to pack while moving out and then proceeded to drop before screaming, fleeing the apartment, and refusing to go back in for a very long time. My artichoke picture has seen me through countless kitchen adventures, just as SPF is sure to do.
